Last week, we visited the ancient history of Coors Field from prehistoric oceans to mountain building. This week, will look at notable people who occupied LoDo and are often overlooked in Denver history.
Although the Rockies are celebrating their 30th season as an MLB franchise, baseball has been played in the area as far back as the 1800s in mining towns, on Weld County farms, and up and down the Front Range. Years before Coors Field hosted All-Star Games, slugfests, Hall of Famers, and beautiful sunsets, different people and businesses called the area home.
