Welcome to Littleton, CO

One of the great things about the Denver Metro area are the small towns that surround the city with their own unique histories, town centers and unique personalities -- Littleton is just one of these great small towns! Named after Richard Little, an engineer who came to Colorado during the Gold Rush to help build a system of water canals to feed the farms of the growing metro area south of Denver, Littleton today has approximately 40,000 people. Not just a residential suburb, the city has an economic base that includes higher educational facilities as well as its own school district, a variety of industries and a great environment for small business. Its historic downtown is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The city’s theatre productions are well-known throughout the metro area and frequently receive 4-star reviews. Housing includes historic homes from the 1800s, traditional 2-story Denver Squares and ranch-style one-stories in a variety of price points. With two Light Rail stops, Littleton offers easy access to downtown Denver. The city boasts one of the largest suburban parks in the U.S. – South Platte Park with over 660 acres of open space, bike paths and athletic facilities. Plus the Chatfield Reservoir provides water and recreation – including great beaches, trails and marinas. The city’s website has a Cupola Cam on top of their municipal building in the center of town so you can see the city (and the great mountain views) any time.
