Denver the largest city and the capital of the U.S. state of Colorado. Denver is also the second most populous county in Colorado after El Paso County. Denver is a consolidated city and county located in the South Platte River Valley on the western edge of the High Plains just east of the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains. The Denver downtown district is located immediately east of the confluence of Cherry Creek with the South Platte River, approximately 12 miles (19 km) east of the foothills of the Rocky Mountains.
Denver is nicknamed the Mile-High City because its official elevation is exactly one mile or 5,280 feet (1,609.344 m) above sea level, making it one of the highest major cities in the United States. The 105th meridian west of Greenwich passes through Union Station and is the temporal reference for the Mountain Time Zone.
The 2011 estimated population of Denver was 619,968 which ranks it as the 23rd most populous U.S. city. The 10-county Denver-Aurora-Broomfield, CO Metropolitan Statistical Area had an estimated 2011 population of 2,599,504 and ranked as the 21st most populous U.S. metropolitan statistical area.
The 12-county Denver-Aurora-Boulder Combined Statistical Area had an estimated 2011 population of 3,157,520 and ranked as the 16th most populous U.S. primary census statistical area.
Denver is the center and the most populous city of the Front Range Urban Corridor, an oblong urban region stretching across 18 counties in two states with an estimated 2011 population of 4,423,936.
Denver is the most populous city within a 500-mile (800 km) radius and the second most populous city in the Mountain West and the Southwestern United States after Phoenix, Arizona.
Colorado State Capitol 02132010
Colorado State Capitol, Denver Colorado
.September 24, 1858, St. Charles was established where the Cherry Creek and Platte River meet and the area now known as lower downtown area- east of the Platte and to the northeast of Cherry Creek , to about 16th St and Larimer St..
November 1, 1858, before legal papers to name the area St. Charles, the Auraria Town Company was organized. Auraria was the first permanent settlement in what is now Denver.
November 22, 1858, General Larimer assumed the St. Charles claim. General Larimer and his men voted to establish the Denver City Town Company. General Larimer named the town in honor of the Kansas Territorial Governor, James William Denver.
November of 1861, Governor William Gilpin called the first session of the Territorial Legislature in Denver, an area that is now known as LoDo. The second session was held in Colorado City, now a part of Colorado Springs. The Legislature first selected Colorado City as the capital of Colorado. By the second session, they decided to move back to Denver in July of 1862.
The only problem, which faced the Territorial Legislature, was the real owners of the land. The entire area belonged to the Native Americans. The problem was solved
when the land was taken away from them by Congressional action in 1864.
February 1864, the session met in Golden City, but returned to Denver to finish their work. The Legislature met in Golden City and Denver until finally deciding on Denver early in 1876.
August 1; 1876, Colorado achieved statehood.
In 1867, the land for the state capitol, ten acres between Grant and Lincoln Streets and Colfax and 14th Avenue, was donated by landowner Henry C. Brown (the builder of the Brown Palace Hotel).. Henry Brown, not to be confused with J. J .Brown, the Denver silver baron who was the husband of the famous Molly Unsinkable Brown (whose elegant mansion, now a museum, still stands at 1340 Pennsylvania, Denver).
April 8, 1881, the voters of Colorado approved Denver as the capital city of Colorado ending a long struggle to locate the capital elsewhere.
April 1, 1885, the construction of the gold domed state capitol finally began after 18 years of heated discussions and attempts by Brown to regain his land back from the state.
The discussion continued regarding the construction of the capitol (it was to be build of sandstone but wisely they chose the more durable granite).
Finally, on July 4, 1890, the cornerstone was laid.
January 1895, twenty-eight years after acquiring the land, the citizens vote where the state capital was to be, one lawsuit by Mr. Brown to retain the land, heated discussions regarding the capital building and the actual construction, the 10th Session of the State Legislature finally occupied the grand building. The final construction continued past the turn of the century, around 1901, at a total cost of almost three million dollars.
The Colorado capitol building, with its 24K gold dome (200 ounces of gold and another 50 ounces were applied in 1950) and magnificent stonework, is considered one of the most striking such structures in the nation.
