Auraria Walking Tour
Description
The town of Auraria was founded on
November 1, 1858, three weeks before
William Larimer platted the future “Denver City”
on the other side of Cherry Creek. The towns
eventually merged into the city we know
today. Discover the rich story of this immigrant
neighborhood and how it transformed
into the city’s biggest university campus.
