Commerce City - Commerce City was incorporated in 1952, bringing together the communities of Adams Heights, Derby, Dupont, Irondale and Rose Hill in a new "City Center," which today is the core of a growing community of more than 50 square miles. The "Northern Range" area of the city provides 43 square miles of growth corridors for business and residential development amid some of Colorado's greatest natural resources, including the Rocky Mountain National Wildlife Refuge, Barr Lake State Park, the Prairie Gateway area, and numerous trails, open spaces and wildlife preserves. Just eight miles from downtown Denver, 25 miles from the Denver Technology Center and adjacent to Denver International Airport (DIA), Commerce City is positioned with easy access to all major business areas in Denver. Commerce City boasts affordable housing, access to extensive parks and open space with panoramic views of the Rocky Mountain Front Range and a committed public education system.
