Littleton, CO

As the city of Denver expanded during the "Pikes Peak" gold rush of 1859, Denver representatives established the town of Littleton, Colorado, as an alternative region for mining. Today, the city that was incorporated in 1890 with a population of fewer than 250 residents is home to more than 40,000 people. The city's population expanded exponentially after World War II, when city officials shifted the area's economic focus from agriculture to munitions and aerospace manufacturing. Littleton straddles Arapahoe and Douglas counties.

ECONOMY AND INDUSTRIES

About 150 years ago, Littleton prospered through its successful agricultural industry. Home-grown companies, such as Rough and Ready Flour Mill (first established in 1867), provided enough economic stability to keep the community thriving for decades. When the city shifted to manufacturing after WWII, it became dependent on the success or failure of large national corporations, and in particular, the aerospace monolith Lockheed Martin. In the 1990s, Littleton launched a project to begin generating local companies once again; this "economic gardening" resulted in the creation of an estimated 12,000 jobs by the mid-2000s.

Today, Littleton boasts 18 telecommunications companies, making this industry the most dominant in the city. Two of the city's largest employers are Qwest, an internet and phone provider, and EchoStar Technologies, which provides satellite cable TV. Other growing industries specialize in scientific instruments and software.

NEIGHBORHOODS AND DISTRICTS

Most of the population in Littleton is urban. Neighborhoods and districts of Littleton accommodate around 18,100 houses, out of which more than 17,400 are occupied. Of the occupied houses, more than 10,800 are owner-occupied while renters occupy around 6,600 houses. The median value of a house in Littleton is higher than the statewide median home value.

A car or some other mode of transport in needed to travel in and around Littleton. Many places, such as coffee shops, restaurants and drug stores are far from the center of the city.

Downtown Littleton is centered around its former town hall, which was transformed into the Town Hall Performing Arts Center in 1982. This historic area features more than 250 dining, shopping, entertainment and service-oriented businesses.

ARTS AND ENTERTAINMENT

Many of Littleton's attractions are the product of its recent restoration projects, in which city planners have attempted to preserve historic buildings. Beginning in the late 1990s, Littleton began a restoration program to save its beautiful historic buildings from demolition. One project begun in 1998 restored the abandoned former county courthouse; the restored site was dedicated in May 2000 as the new Littleton Municipal Courthouse. Other restoration projects include the old town hall, which was reconverted into a fine arts center and gallery.
