Denver Phone Directory

Denver is a city-county, the capital of the U.S. State of Colorado and its’ most populous city. It has various nicknames “The Mile – High City” because it is situated 1609 m above the sea, “Wall Street of the West” or “Queen City of Plains”. Since 1901 it was known as Denver city but in 1902 it was consolidated as the City and County of Denver.




The Denver phone directory contains a lot of Denvers, who are probably direct successors of James William Denver who was the inspiration for the city name.

James William Denver was a Kansas Territorial Governor and his name was given to the city by General William Larimer in order to favor General Denver. Also known as “Queen City of Plains” Denver was named this way because of its’ highly developed agriculture industry in the plain regions.

As far as the ethnic diversity of the Denver phone directory is concerned, Hispanic and Latino names are second predominant. Hispanics and Latinos make up 34.2 percent of the Denver population. In 69.9 percent of the households, English was spoken but in 23.90 percent of the households, Denver inhabitants used Spanish.

What is curious about Denver is the fact that in 2005 it became the first city in the United States of America to make legal the possession of marijuana for adults. The quantity had to be under an ounce but still it was a major freedom that was given to the citizens of Denver. So, don’t be surprised if in the Denver phone directory, you will find a business category called “Drug dealers” which would be perfectly legal.

I am only joking of course about the business category, but I am sure that, if in search of marijuana, you will probably find in the Denver phone directory a person who will be more than willing to help you purchase less than an ounce of marijuana. Although more drug free than other cities, Denver does not stop here as far as crime is concerned.

The rate of crime is above average rate and starting with 1993, Denver had four years in a row of “summers of violence”. Gangs represent the major danger in Denver. They are responsible for many crimes such as aggravated assaults, robberies, cocaine dealing, and homicides. The most famous ones are the Latino/Hispanic gangs such as Gallant Knights Insane, North Side Mafia, Tre Tre Crips, and Rolling 30.

Denver has a reputation for its’ outdoor orientated activities. Denver families spend their weekends hiking or skiing in the mountains during winter or camping and climbing in the summer. Denver is also famous for its’ breweries and it is the nation’s number one beer producer per capita. Every year, tourists from all over the world go to Denver to attend the “Great American Beer Festival”.
