Thornton

Thornton has served as a suburban community on Colorado’s Front Range since its incorporation in 1956. Set in the northern Denver metropolitan area, it extends across the high plains east of the Rocky Mountains, where the Front Range forms the boundary between urban Colorado and mountain country. The city was named for Dan Thornton, Colorado’s governor from 1951 to 1955, reflecting its mid-20th-century origins. Residential districts, commercial centres and public spaces give Thornton a distinctly metropolitan character while keeping it connected to the broader Denver area.
