Year 1958

The Highland region originates when Denver founder William H. Larimer, Jr., wades across the Platte River to stake out high ground on the bluffs northwest of Denver. Sunnyside is formed as one of Denver’s original neighborhoods – including Berkeley Lake, Potter Highlands, Sloan’s Lake, and West Highlands.
