The discovery of gold in the South Platte River Valley in 1858 drew national attention to the area, and the promise of fortune and the Homestead Act of 1862 led many pioneers to settle in Colorado rather than continue to California. Before settlement, antelope and buffalo roamed the land, and there is evidence of Arapaho near Crown Point, or Gregory Hill. The first permanent settler, the Kentucky farmer Pleasant DeSpain, built his home in 1870 on 160 acres near today's West 76th Avenue and Lowell Street, and the area became known as DeSpain Junction. Edward Bruce Bowles built a brick Italianate house there in 1881, listed on the National Register in 1988.
In 1885 the Connecticut developer C.J. Harris bought the DeSpain farm and others, combined them and sold smaller tracts to fruit farmers, and the area became known as Harris. In 1890 the New Yorker Henry T. Mayham persuaded the Denver Presbytery to build a university on his land there. Delayed by the depression of 1893, it was built of red sandstone from the Red Rocks region, modeled its curriculum on Princeton's and was called the "Princeton of the West." Incorporated as Westminster University of Colorado, it began classes in 1908. Sources give June 5, 1908, both for the opening of the Harris post office and for its renaming as Westminster. The Town of Westminster was incorporated on May 24, 1911, and the university closed in 1917 when its students left to fight in World War I. Sources Wikipedia: Westminster, Colorado
