Wheat Ridge, Colorado Real Estate and Relocation Information

Wheat Ridge had its beginnings in 1859 as a farming community where wheat was grown on the ridges of the rolling hills in this western suburb 30 minutes from downtown Denver. It later became the largest producer of carnations worldwide until the mid-20th century with the importing of South American carnations at lower prices, and still has a carnation festival annually in August.
