Littleton, Suburban municipality in the Denver metropolitan area, Colorado, United States

Littleton extends across three counties - Arapahoe, Douglas, and Jefferson - and sits at an elevation of 1,631 meters above sea level.

Richard Sullivan Little, an engineer from New Hampshire, established the settlement in 1862, leading to its incorporation in 1890 with 245 residents.

The Western Welcome Week celebration, initiated in the 1920s, brings together local organizations through parades, craft fairs, and community gatherings.

The city connects to downtown Denver through multiple transportation routes, including the RTD light rail system and the extensive South Platte River Trail.

The Rough and Ready Flour Mill, founded in 1867, remains a central historical structure that shaped the early economic development of Littleton.
