Winter Park, Colorado
In 1978, Winter Park, Colorado was officially founded and named for the Winter Park Ski Resort, which opened in 1939. However, the area of Winter Park began as two small settlements in the 1930s: Old Town and Hideaway Park. Old Town's development occurred due to the construction of Colorado’s Moffat Tunnel, a railway and water tunnel. And, in 1932, Hideaway Park was built by L.O. "Doc" Graves as a tourist destination.
Just down the road: Denver, Colorado.
