A Look Back: The Founding of Parker
The foundation of Parker began in the 1860s when gold rush travelers followed the Cherokee Trail across Colorado. In 1864, Alfred Butters built a simple cabin and general store to serve them, known as the Pine Grove Way Station. This early hub gave rise to the town we now call Parker.
With the extension of the Denver and New Orleans Railroad in 1882, Parker flourished into a growing agricultural and commercial community. The town was renamed after James S. Parker, who helped bring the railroad to the area and became its postmaster.
Today, the town’s historic downtown district and landmarks like the 17 Mile House Farm Park stand as tributes to its pioneer spirit—a spirit that continues at places like BeeHive Homes, where each resident’s story is honored with dignity and care.
