Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: GOA-GRA
GOLDEN , a city and the county-seat of Jefferson county, Colorado, U.S.A., on Clear Creek- (formerly called the Vasquez
fork
  of the
South
  Platte), about 14 M. W. by N. of Denver. Pop. (1900) 2152; (1910) 2477. Golden is a residential suburb of Denver, served by the Colorado & Southern, the Denver &
Intermountain (electric), and the Denver & North-Western Electric railways. It is about 5700 ft. above sea-level. About 600 ft. above the city is Castle
Rock
 , with an amusement park, and W. of Golden is Lookout
Mountain
 , a natural park of 3400 acres. About 1 m. S. of the city is a state industrial school for boys, and in Golden is the Colorado State School of Mines (opened 1874), which offers courses in mining engineering and metallurgical engineering. The Independent Pyritic Smelter is at Golden, and among the city's manufactures are pottery, firebrick and tile, made from clays found near by, and flour. There are deposits of coal, copper and gold in the vicinity. Truck-farming and the growing of fruit are important
industries
  in the neighbourhood. The first
settlement
  here was a gold mining camp, established in 1859, and named in honour of Tom Golden, one of the
pioneer
  prospectors. The
village
  was laid out in 186o, and Golden was incorporated as a town in 1865 and was chartered as a city in 187o. Golden was made the
capital
  of Colorado Territory in 1862, and several sessions (or parts of sessions) of the Assembly were held here between 1864 and 1868, when the seat of government was formally established at Denver; the territorial offices of Colorado, however, were at Golden only in 18661867.
