Northglenn - A Family City Near Denver

Northglenn is located nine miles north of Denver, Colorado, in western Adams County along Interstate 25. It began as a planned community in the spring of 1959, when a housing and land development firm finalized plans for a large housing subdivision north of the Denver Metropolitan area. The vision of a well-balanced community included acres of open space for park and recreation development along with residential, industrial, educational and commercial plans. From the first residential development in 1959, Northglenn has grown to a home rule city with a population near 36,500 and encompasses 7.5 square miles of land.

The community is recognized for a well-planned trail system that makes it possible to walk virtually in any direction within the City. Recreational facilities include 550 acres of parks and open space, indoor and outdoor swimming pools, tennis courts, ball fields, and a recreation center. The Northglenn Community Center is one of the largest recreational facilities in the state.
