The neighborhood of Cherry Creek was once know as Harmon, named after George Harmon who owned the 320 acre farm that originally occupied the land where Cherry Creek is now situated. For hundreds of years prior, the Cherry Creek itself supplied water to Native Americans, trappers, fur traders and adventurers. When small deposits of gold were discovered in the Cherry Creek in 1858, the region began to boom. With the news of gold in the Cherry Creek, General William Larimer pioneered a group of settlers from Kansas to travel to the Cherry Creek area and establish a settlement which was named Denver City. The Cherry Creek area was established along the boundary adjacent to Denver City and the uniqueness of its community survived and continues to live on.
