About our association

WELCOME TO THE BANANA BELT OF DENVER

Howdy!
If you can conjure-up a vision of paradise in your mind's-eye, this is it -- a lovely, lush, sleepy respite island surrounded by a concrete sea.

Here's Some Neighborhood History . . .

Several of our neighborhood streets are named after prominent early Denver settlers:
Henry Buchtel = BUCHTEL BLVD.
Frances Asbury = ASBURY ST.
John Evans = EVANS ST.
Henry White Warren = WARREN ST.
John Wesley Iliff = ILIFF ST
John Wesley = WESLEY ST.

Bishop Henry White Warren married the widow of John Wesley Iliff - a prominent early cattle rancher.

Henry White Warren & Elizabeth Iliff-Warren founded the Iliff School of Theology in 1893.

Governor John Evans, the second territorial governor of Colorado, was instrumental in founding Methodist-related Denver University (DU - Colorado Seminary) in 1864.

None of the aforementioned are still alive . . .
