Westminster, Colorado Real Estate and Relocation Information

As did most of Denver’s suburbs, Westminster got its start because of the Gold Rush in 1849. The Homestead Act, passed in 1862, brought many settlers to the area. The land proved to be a good place to grow apples and cherries. The arid climate challenged the eastern settlers, and many sold their land to real estate developers. Apple and cherry orchards continued to prosper, were sold to make room for the Denver-Boulder Turnpike which opened in 1952. Soon the community grew, and in 1978 city officials put in place a “pay as you go” growth policy which allowed Westminster to preserve its quality of life. The population today approaches 110,000.
