In the mid-19th century, the discovery of gold in Clear Creek attracted new settlers to move west. Golden quickly became an important supply stop for gold miners looking for riches in the nearby mountains.
Today, Golden continues to prosper. The city enacted the Golden Vision 2030 project, identifying key community values that residents would like to maintain through redevelopment initiatives. City officials are committed to provide a high quality of life for local residents with a healthy economy and leadership tactics that are progressive, innovative and responsible.
Although technically a suburb of Denver, Golden is a great place to live because it stands alone with a unique local flavor. Residents can find a variety of local restaurants and shops to get everything they need without having to travel far.
Golden is home to the Coors Factory, which invites visitors to take a brewery tour. Beer enthusiasts can see how the brew is created from start to finish and even taste fresh samples.
The city hosts many exciting regional events throughout the year, including the Golden Fine Arts Festival, Colorado Environmental Film Festival, Golden Buffalo Bill Days and Summer Solstice Music Festival.
