The City of Golden is a unique community featuring easy access to both Denver and the Rocky Mountains, while maintaining its own identity as a close-knit community with historic roots. Golden served as the capital of Colorado Territory before Denver received the honor when Colorado became a state.

Golden has a rich culture steeped in its roots as a mining town, but the community has also grown into a progressive, unique city full of economic diversity and opportunity. With 24 miles of trails and more than 400 acres of open space, Golden is known for its outdoor recreation and is a destination spot for people around the world.
