Denver was built in 1858 as a coal mining town. Soon after the town was built, gold mines were found here, attracting a large number of gold miners. At that time, Denver belonged to the administrative region of Kansas, so it was named after the chief executive of Kansas, James Denver. Denver got its name. The purpose of this move was to make Denver the capital of the county, but it was unexpected that James Denver had already resigned. At that time, the news was not transmitted smoothly. When the residents of the town knew the news of Denver's resignation, the name of the town had been registered.
In the early years, Denver was a town based on coal mine, livestock and goods trade. With the construction of the railway, the urban development gradually accelerated, and the urban economy changed to service industry and logistics supply. Founded in 1861, it became the capital of Colorado Administrative Region in 1867. Colorado joined the Union in 1876, and Denver became the capital of the state. With the rise of mining in the Rocky Mountains and the agriculture and animal husbandry in the Great Plains, the Central Pacific Railway across the mainland is open to traffic, and the large-scale westward migration and development in China, the city has developed rapidly.
