Fact text
- Parker's original name was literally 'Parkers'', named after two brothers, but someone eventually dropped the apostrophe and here we are.
- To make sure the railroad ran through the center of town instead of along Cherry Creek, James Parker sold his right-of-way to the railroad for exactly $1.
- Gold was discovered in the mid-1880s at Newlin Gulch, which is now quietly sitting under the Rueter-Hess Reservoir.
- The town's founding stage stop, Twenty Mile House, got its name simply because it was exactly 20 miles from Denver, pioneers kept things practical.
