History
The recorded history of Englewood began in 1858, when gold was discovered near the mouth of a creek (later named Little Dry Creek) by William Green Russell, a prospector from the State of Georgia. Two years later, Thomas Skerritt, considered to be the founder of the city, established a home in the area, which was called Orchard Place. Four years later, the first road connecting Denver and Orchard Place was built by Skerritt. In 1879, the first telephone arrived in the area. In 1883, the Cherrelyn horsecar path was laid. The Cherrelyn trolley became an important city icon, being carried up Broadway by horse, and down by gravity.
The Town of Englewood was incorporated on May 9, 1903, and Skerritt edged out by J.C. Jones to become the first mayor. Jones was a prominent landowner, having originally owned almost all of what is now north Englewood. The Englewood, Colorado, post office opened on Oct 24, 1903. The next two years brought the establishment of the first newspaper in the city, soon to be named the Herald. In 1905, Swedish National Sanitorium was founded, soon to become the massive present-day Swedish Medical Center. The first pavement and street lights were installed in 1906 and, a year later, the police and fire departments were established. In 1908, the Cherrelyn horse trolley ceased operating.
