| DenverPost.com - The Colfax story (3159 words) |
| Named "Original Aurora" more than two decades ago to spur redevelopment, that piece of Colfax is undergoing a transition that residents, business owners and developers say will mark the future of the road in their city. |
| Once home to a rail line that brought the first sustained crush of residents at the start of the 20th century, Aurora became a center for banks, markets and soda fountains in the 1920s, signaling the city's emergence as a true suburban community. |
| Though time swept much of the population from the former main street and Aurora grew elsewhere, East Colfax is a reminder of once-meager roots that eventually shaped a region. |
