Return to Index History & History Related Items Englewood history: As with many Colorado communities, Englewood began with the gold fever of the mid 1800s. Many of the prospectors wending their way to the California gold fields stopped in Colorado to try their luck. One of these was William Green Russell. He was in a group that found gold in the South Platte River where they made camp in the area that would become Englewood. Actually, their strike was the start of the Pikes Peak or Bust gold rush of 1859. Once word was out many more came into the area. Thomas Skerritt came from Ireland in 1864 and claimed a homestead that contained 640 acres. This same area is now most of what is Englewood today. Skerritt is considered the “Father of Englewood.” The area lent itself well to agriculture, in particular, fruit trees, and many were planted here. In time, many small settlements began to develop here but the area maintained its rural atmosphere. By the end of the 1800s, Denver had begun to grow and many roads were built. A local story has it that Skerritt was tired of going down the Old Santa Fe Trail to Denver when he wanted to sell his crops, so he basically built a nice wide road with a log behind a wagon. Being a very wide road, it was dubbed Broadway. The road remains today as one of the main streets of the Denver area. As the community grew, there was a need for more organization and regulation. In 1903 a group began a drive to make the area a safer place to live by trying to make a city with a local government. The plan united a number of the small adjoining settlements that had sprung up. The incorporation was put to a vote on 13 May 1903 and was overwhelmingly approved by the residents. Since there were many trees here, the name chosen was Englewood which means wooded nook. For a time in the 1920's, there was an effort to merge Englewood with Denver, but the people voted to maintain separate cities. The city has continued to grow and flourish with many businesses to help boost the area economy. Much more historical information may be found at the website below.
