Federal Heights Colorado News
Welcome to your Federal Heights Colorado
news page. The only page on the internet committed to news from the city of Federal Heights and the State of Colorado.
Home Page of City of Federal Heights, Colorado The first
'modern day' resident of what was to become the Town of Federal Heights, and later the
City of Federal Heights, was Mr. Harvey Larsen who worked for the Colorado & Southern
Railroad. In 1927 Larsen purchased 2½ acres of vacant land to the east of a rutted,
two-lane, dirt road that led into Denver. That dirt road was Federal Boulevard. The Larsen
property was in the area that is now the intersection of W. 92nd Avenue and Federal
Boulevard. The purchase price for the property was $1,000. Because of Federal Boulevard,
and the fact that the land was high and overlooked Denver, Mr. Larsen named the area
Federal Heights. As traffic began to increase on Federal Boulevard, Larsen eventually
opened a business that he called The North Federal Heights Grocery and Supply Station.
