Denver County, Colorado Free Public Records Directory

The City and County of Denver, as it is officially known, is the capital and most populous city in the state of Colorado. Of the 64 counties in the state, two have consolidated city and county governments: the City and County of Denver and the City and County of Broomfield. Denver was founded in 1858 and became a combined government entity with the county in 1902. Denver is known as the “mile high city” due to its elevation of exactly one mile (5280 feet) above sea level. Don’t remind the residents that its neighbor to the south, Colorado Springs, officially stands at 6035 feet above sea level (1.14 miles). ^[1]

The City and County of Denver is ideally situated as a transportation and distribution hub due to its equidistance to large cities in the Midwest (e.g., Chicago, St. Louis) and the west coast (e.g., Los Angeles, San Francisco). ^[2] Proximity to the mineral-rich Rocky Mountains supports its energy and mining industries. Telecommunications, recreation, and tourism industries are also part of this healthy economy. Geographically, the City and County of Denver is bordered by Jefferson County to the west, Adams County to the north and east, and Arapahoe County to the south and east.
