The City of Car Hire Denver is the capital
and the most populous city of the U.S. state of Colorado. Denver is located in the
South Platte River Valley on the High Plains just east of the Front Range of the
Southern Rocky Mountains. The Denver downtown district is located at east of the
confluence of Cherry Creek with the South Platte River, about 12 to 15 miles, east
of the foothills of the Rocky Mountains.
Car Hire Denver is also known as The Mile-High City as its official
elevation is exactly one mile above sea level. The city claims to have the 10th
largest central business district in the United States.
Denver was founded during the Pikes Peak Gold Rush in the Kansas Territory in 1858.That
summer, a group of gold prospectors from Lawrence, Kansas arrived and established
Montana City on the banks of the South Platte River. This was the first settlement
in what was later to become the city of Denver. The Montana City site is now Grant-Frontier
Park and includes mining equipment and a log cabin replica.
