Westminster incorporated May 24, 1911
The City of Westminster is a Home Rule Municipality located in Jefferson and Adams counties, Colorado. The Westminster Municipal Center is located 9 miles north-northwest of the Colorado State Capitol.
Westminsters’ first permanent settler was Kentucky farmer Pleasant DeSpain, who built his home in 1870 on 160 acres (near what is now West 76th Avenue and Lowell Street). The area became known as DeSpain Junction and attracted other settlers including Edward Bruce Bowles, who in 1881 constructed a brick Italianate house now known as the Bowles House.
Real estate developer C.J. Harris arrived in DeSpain Junction in 1885 and purchased the DeSpain farm, among others. Harris renamed DeSpain Junction Harris, Colorado. Westminster University of Colorado began classes in 1908. In 1911, Harris voted to incorporate as a city and changed its name to Westminster, in honor of the university.
Westminster has an extensive trail network and open space system. The highlight of the trail system is the Big Dry Creek Trail which extends approximately 12 miles (19 km) from the eastern boundary of the city to Standley Lake. Other trails parallel the Farmers’ High Line Canal, Walnut Creek, and Little Dry Creek.
