WITH DR. MARTIN LOCKLEY M, DEC 10, 2012 - 7 MP

VISIT A MUSEUM AND/OR WATCH A VIDEO

Dr. Martin Lockley, a world-renowned expert in geology,

paleontology, and evolution, took us far back in time to when

Anthem Ranch was under a huge inland sea and the Front

Range had a beach. The dinosaurs walked along this beach

for ages, leaving their tracks and bones.

He explained the intense 19th century rivalry of

museum directors leading to a dinosaur bone

“gold rush” & “bone wars.”

Dr. Lockley has been instrumental in the

creation of the Morrison Natural–History Museum

and the dinosaurs tracks unit of the University of

Colorado Natural History Museum.

THE PAST, BOTH RECENT AND DISTANT,

OF ANTHEM RANCH & OUR NEIGHBORHOOD

OUR CLUB HAS SPONSORED EVENTS

FEATURING WELL-KNOWN EXPERTS

WHO EXPLORE OUR HERITAGE. SOME OF THEIR

PRESENTATIONS ARE SUMMARIZED HERE.

COLORADO DINOSAURS !

Gwen Kelly, a 3rd generation Coloradoan, wanted to share

the state’s rich history and heritage with others. Toward this

end she organized the founding of The Colorado Heritage Club

in January 2011 and has led it ever since. Over the first year

the club produced events featuring professional speakers and

entertainers open to all interested Anthem Ranchers. By

popular demand these evening events soon became the main

focus. Low price tickets ($1—$3) were sold to cover costs.

High quality videos were often shown at “matinees” (free).

Local town museums, libraries, and historical societies were

valuable resources. An extensive club website was created,

with active links to these information sources — accessible via

the club web page. In April of 2012 The Colorado History

Center reopened in Denver and it also became a valuable

resource, http://historycoloradocenter.org/ .

Recently many new residents have requested information

about the origins of towns surrounding Anthem Ranch. Of the

66 programs, 2011-2017, Gwen and Joe Kelly have provided

summaries here of those that were specifically about

neighboring towns. It is hoped this will bring back pleasant

memories for those who attended and interesting information for

residents who are new.

—TABLE OF CONTENTS—

While Lafayette and Louisville were both initially settled

by farmers, once coal was discovered they quickly became

coal mining towns. In these towns the coal miners owned

their homes and lived lives independent from the mines

where they worked. Erie, however, became a company

town.

Erie was also different in that it was isolated from

Lafayette and Louisville. As the mines grew and railroads

arrived Erie became oriented toward Denver, Boulder, and

Longmont.

The line on the map above shows approximately where

the band of coal deposits were. Broomfield is outside this

strip so it was never a coal town.

In the years gone by The Colorado Heritage Club

hosted speakers who covered the history/heritage of

Lafayette, Erie, and Broomfield as well as other

neighboring towns. These earlier presentations are

summarized in this booklet as is our presentation on

Louisville. Kirk Oglesby shares the history of the very land

on which Anthem Ranch is built.

ANTHEM RANCH’S PAST

By Kirk Oglesby, Code Compliance Manager, City and County of Broomfield (Originally presented at

Anthem Ranch during a visit with the mayor around 2013.)

- 4-

You are not the first persons here on the western edge of the Great Plains. At least 7,000 years ago ancient hunters strolled the high rolling grasslands of Anthem Ranch and scouted locations of the massive herds of bison and antelope. The prehistoric butchering site along Rock Creek down in the valley has items dating to the early Archaic Period 5500 – 3000 BC. These ancient hunters too were renewed by the majesty of the Front Range in the morning sun.

In later times, Spanish armies explored the Great Plains intending to conquer and colonize the land, but never quite made it up to Anthem Ranch. Although they conquered the peoples of Central and South America the Spanish could not extend their rule northward from Taos through the Apache and Comanche territory. The lands north of the Arkansas River up to Anthem Ranch were primarily Arapaho. The neighboring Ute tribes did not venture out very far onto the plains from the mountains.

Eventually, after the Indian lands were taken following the Civil War, the area was flooded with farmers who broke the prairie sod and planted crops. After an 1880’s drought the families in the area banded together and dug ditches to carry water from the mountain streams in the foothills onto their farms in the area. The Community Ditch running through Anthem Highlands is a remnant of these historic ditches and is still active today. The ditch can be seen crossing Sheridan Blvd east of Sienna Reservoir lying east of Lowell Blvd. Following the drought and the dust bowl of the 1930’s, farmers along the northern Front Range created the Northern Colorado Conservancy District and a tunnel was dug underneath Rocky Mountain National Park to bring water from the western slope to fill the irrigation canals of the farmers with more water. This extensive system of snowmelt diversion and storage is known as the Colorado-Big Thompson Project. The water from Big Thompson and Windy Gap water rights owned by Broomfield is delivered to us by the conservancy district through a pipeline from Carter Lake to our water treatment plant lying to the east of Holy Family High School.

Coal mining fueled the economy of Lafayette and Erie into the 1900’s, but coal mines were not a part of what is now Anthem Ranch. Remains of a shaft from the old Blue Ribbon mine can be found on the northern portion of the Anthem Ranch open space just west of the

- 5-

Boulder County line. This was a small mine from 1933 next to the older Baker and Vaughn mines to the northwest. Some coal can still be seen on the surface near the former opening of the shaft.

Annexation “wars” started in the 1980’s when cities around Anthem decided their financial health required expansion for future commercial sales tax revenue. The natural drainage basins determined boundaries for sanitary sewer service to the new development which would soon come to the area. The gravity flow sewer services ended up defining the eventual boundaries of these cities. Westminster stopped its northward expansion at W 150th Avenue along I-25 once Broomfield annexed the lands to the north. If you look at the map on page 5 you will see that Broomfield’s boundaries are highly irregular, looking somewhat like a dragon (head in the lower left corner and tail in the upper right corner).

At the time of annexation into Broomfield in 1988, Anthem Ranch was part of the Nordstrom family farm. Pete and Dorothy Nordstrom were the patriarchs of the farming family and lived in a small home along the north side of W 160th Ave to the east of Sheridan Parkway. Their home is gone now. The farm extended eastward from the Boulder County line as far east as Huron St and ranged northward from W 152nd Avenue up to State Highway 7 with smaller farms around the perimeter. The Nordstrom extended family drove the tractors and made a modest living from the land. The farm family spent their entire lives enjoying the same magnificent views which renewed the spirits of the hunters on the rolling grasslands so long ago.

The youngest son, Carl, farmed the area where Anthem Ranch resides. Carl spent his entire life on a tractor farming the soil. He eventually built his brick dream home which was located to the southwest of where the Aspen Lodge is today. The view of the Rocky Mountains, which had been an everyday part of Carl’s early life, was spectacular from his new home. Unfortunately, he was diagnosed with a terminal illness shortly after moving in and passed on a year later. The house was removed not long after as was the small shooting range along the west side of the old Lowell/Tennyson dirt road which connected up to State Highway 7.

The beltway now known as the Northwest Parkway came in time and the wheat farm was reshaped with large earth movers. Homes were built, water pipes were installed, and the area was planted with irrigated turf and trees. Over the years, the former grasslands and wheat fields will transform into an irrigated urban forest at the foot of the Front Range.

Post Script from Kirk Oglesby

Both coal and dinosaur bones are often related to areas with oil and gas. Coal is found along the western edge of the area near Louisville and dinosaur bones are found throughout the Front Range where rock formations outcrop that contain fossils from dinosaurs and plants. A casting of a rock uncovered in Interlocken during construction of an office building contains a large palm frond with dinosaur tracks and can be found in the lobby of the Broomfield library.

Actually the exploration for oil and gas in the area was just beginning in earnest in 1965. My dad was a geologist in Oklahoma and did one of the first geologic workups for the whole Denver-Julesburg basin (the DJ Basin) in the 1960's. He analyzed the geologic bedding and identified areas likely to contain oil and gas traps.

Here is some information on the D-J basin. I'm no expert but have knowledge of my dad's geologic analysis and have witnessed the boom in our area in the 1990's and more recently.

The D-J Basin extends from Denver to Julesburg and beyond. The rock strata dip dramatically downward at the foothills to dive deep under Denver. Moving eastward, the strata gradually rise. Over a mile deep, the sandstones and shales contain traps with oil and natural gas - remnants of the plants and animals who lived along the great inland seaway, transformed by age, heat, and pressure deep underground.

The 1950's saw a lot of exploration with limited drilling activity in the basin north and east of Denver. In 1963 my father was a geologist with Cities Service Oil and produced a large format, hand drawn geologic work up of the basin showing the limited drilling and production to date. The geology looked promising and he recommended pursuing further exploration in the area. In 1972 he was transferred from the Bartlesville office to the Denver office to focus on exploration in the Rocky Mountain region.

A boom in the early 1990's produced the first wells along this southern edge of the Wattenburg field. The spread of horizontal drilling and the subsequent refinement in the technology will allow increased recovery of the oil and natural gas buried deep beneath our land for many years into the future.

1877 Coal was discovered; Welch Mine established.

1878 Louis Nawatny established Louisville.

1900s Many immigrants, particularly Italians, came for the

mining work.

13 saloons were in operation along 3 blocks of Front St.

The longest and most crippling strike in the Northern

Coalfield began and lasted 4 years.

1916 Prohibition (starting in Colorado in 1916) was

devastating to the local saloon economy.

1932 Prohibition ended; Louisville reclaimed its role as the

county’s most popular wet community.

1955 Last Louisville mine closed; Italian restaurants such as

the Blue Parrot and Colacci’s helped sustain the

Louisville economy.

1950s Voters approved a bond issue to fund a sewage system;

many streets were paved; Rocky Flats, a nuclear

weapons production facility, began to employ locals.

1976 Danish Plan for the City of Boulder established growth

management policies which pushed residential growth

to surrounding areas.

2005 Louisville received recognition (first of many) for being

among America’s best places to live and raise a family.

COAL MINES

IN THE

LOUISVILLE DISTRICT

What’s So Special About Louisville?:

From Coal Mining Outpost to a Top Place to Live

It was not so long ago that Louisville’s fortunes were tied to the dying coal mining industry and the town still had dirt streets and outhouses. How to explain, then, that it is today a thriving small city with an energetic downtown that garners national attention for being a great place to live?

Lafayette History — A Brief Outline

1863 Mary & Lafayette Miller arrived in Colorado.

• They operated a stage coach station on

The Overland Trail — between Denver &

Cheyenne.

• They bought land & began farming at the

present site of Lafayette

1878 Lafayette died suddenly leaving Mary with 6

children to support and a ranch to run.

1884 Coal was discovered on Miller farm land,

eventually leading to extensive mining &

growing commerce.

1888 Mary Miller platted the town site of

Lafayette, named after her late husband.

1889 The railroad reached Lafayette & in 1890 the

town was incorporated.

1891 The Lafayette population reached 1,000.

1906 A power plant was built in Lafayette which

also produced electricity for Boulder,

Longmont, Loveland, Ft. Collins, Greeley, &

the interurban rail line.

1910-14 Strikes in the northern Colorado coal fields

included Lafayette’s miners.

- 10 -

THE REMARKABLE MARY

MILLER Born 1842—Died 1921

In the late 1800’s this dynamic

woman, in an age when women

were not allowed to vote, built up

land holdings & wealth which

allowed her to launch the town of Lafayette. She was a

great entrepreneur, having the foresight to retain all

mineral rights on her property. After coal was discovered

this allowed her to receive royalties from many mines.

She eventually founded a bank, a church, a school and

almost all other institutions needed for a vibrant and very

successful city. At that time she was the first female bank

president in the USA and probably in the world !

Space does not allow coverage of the

human interest stories shared in the

presentation. It soon became apparent,

however, that even though Lafayette,

Broomfield, and Erie are neighbors their

development over time has been different.

• Lafayette, Broomfield, and Erie settlers

were farmers and merchants prior to

1870. Along the aptly named Coal

Creek, Erie pioneers found surface

coal and in 1871 the Boulder Valley

Coal Company established the Briggs

Mine. To bring out the coal the Union

Pacific Railroad extended a spur to

Erie on its main line from Denver to

Cheyenne.

• Erie was incorporated as a town in

1874 before its neighbors. Unlike

Lafayette, however, Erie became

primarily a company mining town. Its

neighbors also served agricultural

interests and thus developed more

robust town centers over time.

• Travel from Erie to surrounding towns

was, for the most part, by stage and

horse which also contributed to Erie’s

isolation.

• From 1881 to 1889 Erie’s attention was

drawn north by “The Baby Railroad’

which hauled passengers & freight

along a narrow gauge track of 8.2 miles

between Canfield and Longmont. The

Our speaker,

Anne Dyni, is

introduced.

railroad also hauled coal to Mitchell where it connected

with the Denver, Utah and pacific line into Denver. ( Note:

Canfield was a town started by the Wise family just west of

Erie along the Jasper road. Today the Wise Family Farm

home is an historical museum.)

• Later the Chicago Burlington and Quincy line passed

through Erie on its route between Denver and Lyons

carrying both freight and passengers until 1957.

• From 1909 to 1925 the Union pacific operated motor cars

allowing Erie passengers to travel comfortably between

Brighton and Boulder. These cars were single self –

running cars operated by an engineer who was also the

conductor.

• In 1927 Erie became a national newspaper headline. The

Columbine Massacre occurred there when militia opened

fire killing 5 miners and wounding 13 men. A 6th died later

in the week.

• In 1979 the Lincoln mine in Erie closed. This was the last

operating mine in the Northern Colorado Coal Fields.

• Erie came late to the era of modern annexation and

development, but has recently experienced rapid and large-

scale residential growth with the accompanying substantial

revenues. Modern civic buildings and services are quickly

developing. It now spans 2 counties, Weld and Boulder.

(For Ages 8-10 )

A Colorado Historical Society informative sign located along CO-7, between I-25 and Lafayette, installed in 2002 (The text below is copied from the marker.)

Colorado's immense northern coal field, centered beneath these rolling hills, contributed to the early development and growth of Colorado and to the birth of nearby towns. Miners and mine owners in this area battled over issues of workers' conditions, wages, and rights through many conflicts over the years. In 1927 tensions mounted for weeks as pickets urged the Columbine Mine workers to join the statewide strike called by the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW). On November 21 several hundred men and women gathered at the mine 1-1/2 miles northwest of here. After a confrontation with state police, gunfire erupted, killing six union miners and wounding many others. Following this tragedy, mine owners finally signed lasting union contracts with the United Mine Workers of America (UMWA). The sacrifices of these miners and their families manifested the struggle for the rights and dignity of all Colorado coal miners.

Bromfield became the 64th County.......................... In the late 1990s, Broomfield made history. To help alleviate the problems and confusion in accessing services, with the City of Broomfield being the only city in the state to lie in portions of

four counties, residents sought relief in a constitutional amendment creating a City and County of Broomfield. The amendment passed on November 3, 1998, giving the city a three-

year transition period in which to organize to become Colorado's 64th county. The state's newest county, the City and County of Broomfield, officially took effect on November 15, 2001.

THORNTON & NORTHGLENN ARE NEW TOWNS

Thornton consisted solely of farmland until 1953 when Sam

Hoffman purchased a lot off Washington Street about 7 miles north of

Denver. ...The Thornton Community Association was formed in 1954 …

By the end of 1955 Thornton had 5,500 residents and over 1,200

homes. … Thornton was incorporated as a city in 1956. (From

Wikipedia)

In the spring of 1959 the Perl Mack Company finalized plans for a

large subdivision north of Denver in unincorporated Adams County. By

October 1962 the new development (Northglenn) had 10,000

residents and 3,000 homes. (From Northglenn website)
