About
Denver History
This site is an excellent
source for those interested in Denver's history as well as its
genealogical past. Some of the things you can find is a
list of all Denver Mayors; most have a photo and/or a brief biography. And
you certainly don't want to miss "Denver Characters"
about sixteen of Denver's most famous citizens. Do
plan to explore the whole site; it's well worth the time and effort.
