Wheat Ridge, Residential city in Jefferson County, Colorado
Wheat Ridge encompasses 9.58 square miles of land between Denver and the Rocky Mountains, featuring Clear Creek and Crown Hill Lake within its boundaries.
The settlement originated during the 1859 Gold Rush as a rest stop for miners, later transitioning into agricultural lands where farmers cultivated the fertile soil.
