A little history

Westwood in Denver. Denver was first settled in the 1850s and is now the capital and most populous city of Colorado, set in the South Platte River valley just east of the Front Range.

Notable neighborhoods in Westwood include:

Auraria and Lincoln Park. Auraria began as a gold mining camp established in 1858 in the Kansas Territory. It survives in its original location as a Denver neighborhood, just south of where Cherry Creek meets the South Platte River. Lincoln Park lies just south of the area where Denver was first settled and is one of the city's oldest neighborhoods. Many houses date from about 1900, and it is home to the Art District on Santa Fe.

Sloan Lake and Villa Park. Sloan Lake is a lake, park and neighborhood on Denver's northwest side, with the lake as its central feature. Villa Park has hilly terrain with panoramic views of downtown Denver and the Rocky Mountains, particularly from Lakewood / Dry Gulch Park, which divides the neighborhood diagonally.
