Bow Mar

Bow Mar developed as an agricultural area, as greater Denver began to grow, in the late 19th century. It became home to several large farms that provided for both Denver and Littleton. As Denver continued to grow in the post-World War II era, Bow Mar farmland was purchased to develop single family housing, and many of the homes came out of the Frank Lloyd Wright prairie-style school of architecture.
