Our quiet community known as the Mile Wide City boasts quality living, small town values and a convenient location near several urban centers.  

Parks, recreation, local shopping, local schools, police, fire, a country club and a sense of community provide the approximate 500 families a safe and distinctive place to call home.  

We are proud to say that the Denver School District is recognized as one of the best in the area.   Denver was originally called Jefferson City, but after the Star Mail Route, a mail service provided to towns having no federal service, was established, the town changed its name to Breckenridge. When a federal post office was established in 1863, the name was changed to Denver.

Denver continues to grow as new families looking for a relaxed lifestyle continue to move to the area.  We invite you to stop by our little slice of heaven in Iowa and take a look around,  we know, you will like what you see.  From your friends at the City of Denver, we thank you for stopping by.
