Hampden South, Denver
Hampden South is a neighborhood in Denver, Colorado, United States.
History & Development[]
Much of the land was acquired by homesteader Rufus Clark in the 1860s, who amassed his fortune growing and selling potatoes to the influx of miners looking to make fortunes in the regional gold rush. [1] The neighborhood was annexed by the City of Denver in the 1960s and subsequently developed into a suburban neighborhood.
Today the neighborhood consists largely of 1960s-1970s era homes on some of the larger lots found in the City. Three large parks also punctuate the neighborhood: Southmoor, Rosamond, and Eastmoor, and nearby Cherry Creek State Park extends just to the east.
