Welcome to East Colfax—a dynamic neighborhood with deep historical roots, evolving culture, and creative energy. On this page you’ll find a snapshot of our neighborhood’s journey over time, alongside features from local artists who make East Colfax feel alive today.

OUR History

East Colfax has always been a place shaped by movement, resilience, and community. From its Indigenous roots to its days as a wagon trail, streetcar hub, military neighbor, and now one of Denver’s most diverse corridors—our story is long, layered, and still unfolding.

Help us keep East Colfax clean and SAFE

We’re launching our brand-new Block Captain Project — and we need neighbors like you to step up!

Block Captains will be the heartbeat of our street and alleyway cleanup efforts. Whether it’s reporting a trouble spot, rallying neighbors to join a cleanup, or representing your block’s needs, Captains make sure no corner of East Colfax gets overlooked.

ECNa will:

Provide supplies and support for cleanups

Work directly with the City and County of Denver to get results

Spotlight your work in newsletters and community meetings

block captains will:

Keep an eye on your block or alley and flag areas that need cleanup

Help coordinate volunteers for monthly events

Be the voice of your block at ECNA meetings or by email
