A Traveler's Guide to Westminster

Westminster is a city that is located in the central region of the US state of Colorado. It is a suburb located to the northwest of Denver. It is located in Adams and Jefferson counties and is one of the fastest growing suburbs of Denver. It was recently selected as the 24th best place to live in the United States by Money Magazine. English is the primary spoken and written language in Westminster.

The region was settled in 1858 when gold was discovered in the nearby South Platte River Valley. Many gold seekers settled in Colorado rather than continuing their journeys to the gold fields of California. The first permanent residences were built in 1870. The area was developed as a ranching hub and agricultural area. The city was incorporated in 1911 and one of the most famous buildings in Colorado, the Westminster Castle, was constructed. The city and the building were named in honor of Westminster University in England.

Westminster has a humid continental climate, which means hot summers and cool winters. Summer temperatures generally stay in the 80's Fahrenheit and winter temperatures can dip below freezing Fahrenheit from time to time. Snowfall occurs during the winter months, but rainfall occurs year round, with most of the rain coming in the months of June through August.
