according to Wikipedia..."Westminster is a city located in both Adams County, Colorado and Jefferson County, Colorado and is a suburb of the city of Denver. As of 2005, the city is estimated to have a total population of 107,363.

After the first permanent settler, Pleasant DeSpain, built his home in 1870 on 160 acres (near what is now 76th and Lowell), the area became known as DeSpain Junction and began attracting other settlers including horse breeder Edward Bruce Bowles who was instrumental in constructing the town's train depot in 1881. In 1885, Connecticut real estate developer C.J.Harris arrived in DeSpain Junction and began buying up land. Soon the town was renamed Harris, but was also known as Harris Park.

In 1891, construction began on the Westminster Castle, which was to become "The Princeton of the West" and can still be seen today at 83rd and Federal. By 1911, the town had incorporated and was renamed one final time to Westminster, in honor of Westminster University."
