Congress Park Neighborhood History
The history of Congress Park dates back to the late 19th century. Between 1880 and 1890, Denver’s population grew exponentially from just 35,000 to over 100,000 and the city’s air quality had pushed residents to the outskirts of town. Improvements in transportation, such as the development of cable cars, made the eastern sections of the Capitol Hill neighborhood more accessible to the middle class. Originally known as Capitol Heights, Congress Park has been the name used for the neighborhood by the city of Denver since the 1970s.
