Denver was founded in 1858 during the gold rush, with Larimer Square being the city's oldest block. Larimer Square was also the first area to be designated an historic district by the City of Denver. Today, Denver has 57 local historic districts and more than 300 individually landmarked properties. Preserving Denver's past is critical to the present and future of vibrant and unique communities. Historic designations also enhance the city's identity, quality of life and economic vitality.

Owning a property in a designated historic district has several advantages, including aiding in the preservation of Denver's neighborhoods, while encouraging thoughtful and sympathetic improvements and additions. Homes in these districts are also eligible for preservation tax credits.
