Highland and Highlands[edit]

Highland and Highlands are two different, but adjacent, neighborhoods in Denver. The former Town of Highland goes back to the early days of Denver and lies between the South Platte River and Federal Boulevard. The Highlands neighborhood was created by Scottish-American investors and lies between Federal Boulevard and Perry Street. The neighborhood between Perry Street and Sheridan Boulevard is commonly known as West Highlands. Highlands and West Highlands are often considered to be one neighborhood, however Highland and Highlands are two very distinct neighborhoods that are often confused because of the very similar names. I lived for many years in the West Highlands neighborhood. --Buaidh (talk) 22:15, 4 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

While this might be true, the article is not about the "Highlands" neighborhood it is about the statistically-defined Highland and West Highland neighborhoods. If someone wants to make an article about the Scottish development in the neighborhood, they should feel free but I am not sure why it needs to be included in List of Denver neighborhoods until there is an article.

The neighborhood that the City and County of Denver currently calls West Highland is actually a combination of the Highlands and West Highlands neighborhoods. The City and County government often forgets its own history. The City and County apparently reasoned that the neighborhood west of Highland should be named West Highland. The only significance of the Scottish-American development is that the developers chose to name their community after the Scottish Highlands rather than continue to use the name of the existing Town of Highland. Folks have been confused about these names for nearly a century. --Buaidh (talk) 14:37, 5 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This is good info. A few-sentence synopsis in the body of the article would help avoid confusion. Plazak (talk) 16:03, 5 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I may be out of line, but isn't there a huge part of the history missing? I grew up in the highlands right behind Elitch Gardens. There should at least be a blurb or link to the Elitch Gardens article. I feel that Eltiches is a huge part of Denver especially the past highlands and the new highlands redevelopment. Not to mention 2 national landmarks. 65.102.199.190 (talk) 20:43, 6 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Uncited content[edit]

Rather than tag the article with {{refimprove}}, which will likely then sit for years if no one is interested in the pain-staking process to back into what is likely original research, I cleaned up the article by removing uncited content... and a bunch of link spam that was in the body of the article.

If someone is interested, though, in researching for sources for the uncited content: here is the diff.

External links should not, though, be in the body of the article.–CaroleHenson (talk) 11:14, 18 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
