Denver is the capital and largest city of Colorado, an important economic and cultural center of the region. The advantageous geographical location of Denver, approximately in the middle between the megacities of the east and west coasts of the United States, makes it a strategically advantageous and convenient place to host federal institutions, create high-tech industries, develop tourism, educational, commercial, financial, and cultural programs.

The city grew up on the outskirts of the Great Plains at the foot of the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains. Denver is called a "Mile-high city" because it is located at an altitude of about 1600-1700 meters (just about a mile - 1609 meters) above sea level.

Denver is characterized by a continental arid climate with pronounced four seasons and large daily temperature fluctuations. Although in general the climate in the Denver area is quite mild, but due to the close proximity of the mountains, unpredictable fluctuations in weather conditions are possible.

Winter in Denver is usually dry and mild, with temperatures in January ranging from -10°C to 6 °C. The earlier or later onset of spring depends very much from year to year on the movement of air masses. Snowfalls are not uncommon even in the second half of April, thunderstorms often occur in spring. In summer, in July, the temperature ranges from 15 ° C to 31 ° C, there is little precipitation. Autumn is characterized by a relatively large amount of precipitation, at the end of autumn, there are often heavy snowfalls.

Denver has an average of more than three hundred sunny days a year.

The first settlement on the site of modern Denver was founded in the summer of 1858 and was called Montana City. It was the time of the "gold rush" in Colorado (known as the "Pikes Peak Fever"), when a flood of gold prospectors poured into the territory previously practically undeveloped by European settlers. A year later, the village was abandoned, and the prospectors moved to other, more promising sites.

Nevertheless, with a long-range view to increasing the number of migrant miners, a land speculator from Kansas, William Larimer, bought up plots here and founded a new settlement, calling it Denver City. With the help of such a name, Larmer intended to ingratiate himself with James Denver, the governor of the Kansas territory, which at that time included these lands. But ironically, by the time Denver City got its name, James Denver had already left the governor's post. The governor left, but the name remained, later changing to Denver.

Denver City gradually grew, it was a typical "frontier city", whose economy at that time was based on providing miners with goods and entertainment, as well as cattle trading. In 1861, the city became the capital of the newly created Arapahoe County, and in 1867 - the capital of the Colorado Territory.

In 1870, Denver was connected by railroads to the transcontinental highway passing north in Wyoming, as well as to Kansas. Since then, the city has become an important transport hub, which has largely determined its development.

When the state of Colorado was formed in 1876, Denver claimed the right to be its capital. Denver was already the largest city in the new state at that time, in fact, it was here that legislators gathered and the government of Colorado worked. Nevertheless, given that there were several applicants for the right to be the "main city", Denver was finally assigned the status of the capital only after a referendum held in the state in 1881.

By 1890, the population of Denver exceeded one hundred thousand people. The "gold rush" in Colorado was replaced in the eighties of the XIX century by the "silver boom", the state and its capital developed rapidly. Luxury hotels, mansions of millionaires were built in the city, an opera house appeared. At the same time, in the last two decades, Denver has become infamously "famous" for its high level of corruption and crime.

At the turn of the XIX-XX centuries, Denver was the fifth most populous (more than one hundred and thirty thousand people) city in the United States west of the Mississippi River and the second (after San Francisco) in the Western United States.

In 1908, the National Convention of the Democratic Party was held in Denver. It was the first political event of this scale in the Western states, which served as a clear recognition of Denver as one of the important centers of public life in the United States.

At the beginning of the XX century, the economy of Denver, as well as the state of Colorado as a whole, was based on mining and processing of agricultural products (primarily livestock). In 1928, the construction of a railway tunnel through the Rocky Mountains was completed near the city, which significantly shortened the path to the Pacific coast and further increased the visibility of Denver as an important transportation hub. In 1929, the first airport was opened in the city.

During the Great Depression, the city was seriously affected by the decline in industrial production. In the thirties, many Denver residents were involved in public works programs funded by the U.S. government.

With the outbreak of World War II, Denver, due to its remoteness from the ocean shores, became a very attractive place for the development of the military industry. Several defense enterprises began operating in the city, which led to an increase in the number of federal employees. The trend continued after the war, when a number of federal agencies (including the National Nuclear Energy Commission, the National Institute of Standards and Metrology, and others) opened their units in the capital of Colorado. The Federal government remains one of the largest employers in the state today.

Following the federal agencies, large corporations focused on military orders also came to the city. Later, in the sixties and seventies, oil and gas companies opened their offices in Denver.

Denver was chosen as the venue for the 1976 Winter Olympics, but the authorities rejected this idea due to the high costs of preparation.

Modern Denver is not only the economic but also the cultural center of the region. The Denver Art Museum, the largest art museum between Kansas City and San Francisco, is known primarily for its collection of American Indian art. In the Museum of Nature and Science, one of the largest natural science museums in the USA, you can see (and even touch something) rich expositions devoted to paleontology, anthropology, geology, zoology, medicine, space exploration, and other topics. The theater Arts Complex in Denver is the second largest in the United States after Lincoln Center in New York. Here you can see performances of dramatic theater groups, classical ballet, and modern dance; listen to opera singing and symphony orchestras. The complex also includes an opera house, known as the "Ellie Caulkins Opera". Nature lovers can visit the Botanical Garden, zoo, and aquarium in Denver.
