Mmmmmmmmmm, Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeer! Who can resist it? Who can say no? You’ll be punch drunk in love with the United States’ brewing capital, Golden, Colorado – home to Coors Brewing Company and many, many happy beer lovers!

If you’re looking to buy or sell property in Golden you might want to know a bit more about Golden than the beer though. Golden's residents are proud of their city's rich history, and they have a right to be . Golden was crucial to the formation of the great state of Colorado, it played a key role in opening the West to settlement, and it helped build this nation's mineral industry.

Once a thriving gold mining settlement, the name "Golden" did not come from the bright, yellow mineral, however. The town is said to be named after Thomas Golden. As the story goes, in 1858, Tom Golden, unable to get his wagon up the canyon, stopped near the mouth of the canyon and sold all his provisions and mining equipment to other eager prospectors.

Golden has both a rich history and a tradition of being progressive. As it nears its 140th anniversary in 1999, the city, remains progressive, yet protective of its history and Western culture. It is a city that recognizes the importance of growth and the equal importance of preserving, its small town charm. It is this blend of the old and the new, the value given to both the past and the future, that makes Golden truly unique in the Denver metropolitan area.
