The City of Northglenn is located in Adams County, Colorado, as a suburb of Denver. It was in the spring of 1959 that Perl-Mack Co. finalized plans for a large subdivision north of Denver. Born from just a few thousand residents during its inception, Northglenn today has a population of approximately 34,000 people. Local government officials have nicknamed Northglenn as The City that Pride is Building.

Primarily designed as a residential community, Northglenn has grown into a marquee place for many retail stores to set up shop here. The community centers around the North Glenn Mall, which serves as a shopping hub for the whole Denver area. A larger shopping mall was constructed on the north side of town and North Glenn Mall was razed and reconstructed as the innovative Northglenn Marketplace - a bustling open-air mall consisting of a variety of large and small retail stores, and restaurants.

Recreational opportunies are plentiful here in Northglenn. A well-planned trail system makes it possible to walk virtually in any direction within the city. Recreational facilities include 550 acres of parks and open space, indoor and outdoor swimming pools, tennis courts, ball fields, and a recreation center.

After its incorporation in 1968, Life Magazine designated Northglenn to be the most perfectly planned community in America. Today, residents continue to maintain this identity.
