Congress Parks grew in the 1890's due to the cable car lines extending east from downtown. In 1903 the neighborhood became home to the city nursery, just south of early Denver's largest reservoir, still present today (albeit underground). The gunmetal, green, and blue color way is representative of this neighborhood's history.
Congress Park flourished during the 1890s, thanks to the extension of cable car lines from downtown. In 1903, this neighborhood became the site of the city nursery, located just south of what was once early Denver's largest reservoir, a historical feature still present today, albeit underground. The flag incorporates a color palette of gunmetal, green, and blue, symbolizing the rich tapestry of this neighborhood's history. These hues pay homage to its growth, its connection to transportation, and its nurturing of natural beauty, serving as a fitting tribute to the community's enduring heritage.
