GOLDEN HISTORY MOMENT
102 Years Ago
The September 8, 1921 Colorado Transcript included a brief paragraph announcing that a home on North Golden Road had burned.
Do you know where “North Golden Road” is?
I’m sure you’re familiar with South Golden Road, which goes past King Soopers and through Pleasant View. South Golden Road got its name because it’s the southernmost of three roads that early Denverites would take to get to Golden.
Look on old maps, and you’ll see that 10th Street, which turns into 44th when it leaves Golden, used to be called North Golden Road. 13th Street, which turns into 32nd when it leaves the city, used to be called Middle Golden Road. Those names have dropped out of usage, but for some reason we’re left with South Golden Road.
Thanks to the Golden History Museum for providing the online cache of historic Transcripts, and to the Golden Transcript for documenting our history since 1866!
