Welcome to Denver ...

So far, we found very little information about Denver. The little that we've found leads us believe that the community is historic.<1>

We've added Denver to our Gazetteer with the hope that we can develop more information. We would especially like to find the location of Denver - knowing its coordinates, we can explore things like its relationship to neighboring communities, nearby cemeteries, etc. If you can help us with Denver, please Contact Us.

While we don't have the exact location of Denver , we believe that it would have been located within present day Newaygo County<2>.

While we don't have a date for the founding of Denver, you might get a feel for it by knowing that during our research the earliest mention that we found (so far) was in a book dated 1895.

When the people of Denver referred to themselves (known as a demonym), they are believed to have used Denverite<3>

Adding Denver to Our Gazetteer ...

As we work on our Gazetteer, we occasionally find mention of a community that is new to us. When we find such a community, we add it to our Gazetteer with the hope of adding more information in the future.

The earliest source we've referenced which mentioned Denver was in the book titled Business Atlas and Shippers' Guide (1895).

Footnotes ...

<1>	We use the term 'Historic' broadly and it generally means that the community no longer exists. However, it can also mean that the community might still exist, but was significantly larger or had a more 'official' existence in the past than it does now. Unfortunately our sources of data have proven to be unreliable. If you can provide us with more specific information about Denver, please let us know so that we can improve our accuracy.
<2>	If you're interested in how the shape of Michigan's counties, including Newaygo, have changed over time, we recommend the Atlas of Historical County Boundaries.
<3>	A demonym is the name for a resident of a community which is usually derived from (or is related to) the name of that community. In other words, it's how the residents of Denver refer to themselves. It's important to note that there aren't any rules for taking a community's name and turning it into a demonym. A demonym is informal and while the majority of Denver may use one name, keep in mind that others may use something different.
