In Lincoln County, the city of Denver, North Carolina, is an excellent place to buy a home just twenty-five miles north of Charlotte. The Denver area has a long, rich history and heritage having first been settled in 1747. Prior to that, the Catawba Native Americans lived in the area. Denver was initially known as Dry Pond and its earliest residents depended on hunting and farming. The community’s name was changed to Denver in the 1870s in an effort to attract the railroad, which unfortunately never arrived. In 1877 Denver was officially incorporated but in 1971 it lost its incorporation. Today, this charming historic community is home to just over two thousand residents who enjoy a fabulous location on the scenic west shores of Lake Norman.
Lake Norman is the state’s largest man-made freshwater lake and a favorite recreation destination in the region. The lake attracts thousands of annual visitors with opportunities for boating, fishing, swimming, and other water activities. Generally speaking, the east side of the lake is more densely populated and closer to shopping, dining, and entertainment. The west side of Lake Norman, where Denver is located, is typically quieter and more spread out. Amenities in the area include several lovely parks, including Beatty’s Ford Park which encompasses children’s playgrounds, disc golf, a walking trail, volleyball courts, and boat access. The Rescue Squad Park and Rock Springs Nature Preserve also offer similar amenities.
