Denver: A Mountain Based Studying Spot

The year 1858 brought prospectors into Denver. Although little gold was found, people flocked here. One settler was William H. Larimer, who named the area after James Denver. In just a year, the population bloomed, but there were tensions that dissipated with time. When gold was found elsewhere, people left, causing Denver to become nearly deserted. People returned after they discovered that Denver had pleasant weather. They stayed and created a trading center.

The 1860's were tumultuous. During the Civil War, a Confederate army attacked, but the people of Denver defeated them. In 1863, a fire burned many of the businesses. In 1864, flashfloods caused a million dollars' worth of damage. Finally, an Indian war erupted, and ended with the Denver population having only six weeks of food.

Things improved after Denver's citizens raised funds to build a railroad. Soon after, the Kansas Pacific Railroad connected with Denver. Finally, with a major silver strike in Leadville, Denver flourished again. Even now, it's growing. There's 600,158 people, 150,407 of whom are students. Within Denver, there are 1,173 teaching and tutoring jobs and 2,397 positions 15 miles away listed on Simply Hired.
