Denver, PA History
The Borough of Denver is a quaint, “small town” located in Northern Lancaster County near the regional transportation hubs of the Pennsylvania Turnpike Interstate 76, PA Route 272, and U.S. Route 222. Through community involvement and cohesiveness, the Borough continues to thrive as a place where people want to live, work, play, and invest. The town is known as the "mile wide town".
Hans Bucher immigrated from Switzerland in 1735 and built a log cabin on a 325-acre tract of land. The area later was called “Bucher Thal” meaning Bucher’s Valley. The present farmhouse at 325 Locust Street, which was built around 1855, replaced the original log cabin.
During the late 1700s, rich meadows embraced nearly the entire region. Farming was the chief occupation, although there also was an early mill and by 1774 a blacksmith shop. Other industries followed including a lime manufacturer, weaver’s loom, cobbler shop, and in 1840, a quarry operation.
A railroad station was built in the late 1800s and soon tradesmen began to locate in the area. A post office was established in 1868 in the depot. The settlement was called “Union Station.” In 1881, with people tiring of being referred to as a railroad station, 19 year old Adam G. Brubaker examined the records of the post offices in the country and found only one with the name of Denver. The name of the area was officially changed to Denver on November 1, 1881.
On September 4, 1900, Denver officially incorporated as a Borough and elected the first Borough officials on October 9, 1900. A volunteer fire company was organized on April 16, 1902.
The Denver Fair
The Denver Lions Club organized the first Denver Fair in 1989 as a way to provide free entertainment for families in the community. Since then, it has survived a flood, several hurricanes, and most recently, state funding cuts.
Each year, the fair crowns a Denver Fair Queen. It also features animal exhibits, a baby parade, and entertainment from local musicians and performers. Past contests have included cow chip poker, smelly sneaker, Boy George Look Alike, and outhouse races.

The farmlands of the Pennsylvania Dutch Country are among the most productive in the nation. But many of the farmers here are different from most Americans; different by choice. For these are the Old Order Amish and Mennonites, also known as the "Plain People".

Lancaster County, Pennsylvania
Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, known as the Garden Spot of America since the 18th century, is located in the southeastern part of the state of Pennsylvania. The city of Lancaster is the county seat.
Lancaster County is a popular tourist destination, due mostly to the many plain sect residents, known as the Amish or Pennsylvania Dutch. The term 'Pennsylvania Dutch' comes from the earlier use of "Dutch" to apply to all immigrants from middle Europe. They are the descendants of Germans who immigrated in the 18th and 19th centuries for the freedom of religion offered by William Penn, and were attracted by the rich soil and mild climate of the area.
Lancastrians can easily spot a visitor to the area by how they pronounce the word Lancaster. Locals and people from nearby counties in Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Delaware pronounce Lancaster as LANK-ister. This is unusual as most Lancasters in the United States are pronounced as LAN-cast-er, though Lancashire, England, and Lancasters in Texas, Ohio, and South Carolina also use the LANK-ister pronunciation. The inhabitants of Lancaster County speak with the Susquehanna dialect. The Susquehanna dialect is most commonly used in the Lancaster, York, and Harrisburg areas, and incorporates influences from the Philadelphia accent and that of the Pennsylvania Dutch.
As of 2005, there were 490,562 residents in Lancaster County, representing 4.2% growth since 2000 and 11.3% growth since 1990.
