The 1913 Englewood Flood

In 1913, Englewood was hit with a devastating flood just a day before the first-ever Englewood Day celebration. How the community responded provides a window into life in Englewood at a time when the city was growing from a Wild West outpost to a modern suburb, and a look at the culture of Colorado in the years before World War I. Featuring rare photos and long-forgotten stories.
