Originally known as St.Charles, and then Denver City, and finally Denver (1867). Also known as "Mile High City", Denver is 5,280 feet (1,609 metres) above sea level, and is located where the South Platte River meets Cherry Creek, on the fringe of the Great Plains, east of the front of the Rocky Mountains. Denver is the capital of Colorado and has a population of a little more than 700,000 (as at 1998).
Located in a spectacular setting at the foot of the Rocky Mountains, Denver is one of America's fastest growing cities -- and one of its most exciting. The Mile High City entertains over 8.8 million visitors a year with people coming to enjoy the city's outstanding cultural attractions, museums, shopping, dining and nightlife.
