This neighborhood holds a rich history as it was once the site of the original Arapaho encampment, strategically located on elevated terrain where the South Platte River and Cherry Creek converge. In the early 1900s, as Denver experienced growth, this area began to draw affluent residents seeking respite from the smelters, leading to the development of newly branded neighborhoods like the Scottish Highlands.

In the mid-20th century, a wave of Italian immigrants was followed by a primarily Latino population, further enriching the neighborhood's cultural tapestry. Today, this community stands at the epicenter of rapid urban redevelopment and investment, ushering in transformative changes to both its physical landscape and social fabric.

The flag incorporates elements from the Arapaho tribal flag, aligning them in a pattern reminiscent of the Scottish flag. It also proudly showcases a color palette inspired by the flags of Italy and Mexico, paying homage to the diverse cultural influences that have shaped the neighborhood over the years, and reflecting its dynamic and ever-evolving character.
