Welcome to Elyria Swansea

Swansea and Elyria have their unique histories, yet the two neighborhoods share common historical features. In the mid-19th century, Denver was a miners' town, and settlements began to form around it. The Swansea-Elyria area was the site of two of these early settlements. People and industry liked the area because it was close to the South Platte River and its land was flat.
 
Three structures in Elyria have been deemed historically significant. The first is the Chapel Building, constructed in 1876 at the corner of East 52nd Avenue and Race Street. It is located in the Riverside Cemetery, which itself was founded in 1870, approximately 10 years before the Village of Elyria was established. The second structure is the Livestock Exchange Building, built in 1916 and located at 4701 Marion Street. This facility followed the establishment of the Denver Union Stockyards, which opened in 1910. The third structure is the old Elyria Elementary School at 4705 High Street, built in 1924.
 
Elyria demonstrated a substantial amount of political savvy in addressing the issues of the day. Leaders and residents debated, among other things, the enforcement of gambling ordinances as opposed to the taxing of earnings. Five of the taverns frequented by Denverites were annexed into Elyria boundaries between 1898 and 1900. The Town Hall was also a cultural center, where both nationally-known and local artists performed. Later, in February 1940, the former Elyria Town Hall was demolished, after it was no longer needed as a fire station.
 
Despite the encroachment of the interstate, the physical character of both Swansea and Elyria has remained stable since the end of World War II. Small sections of well-maintained, single-family homes are interspersed with larger areas of commercial and industrial development such as Denver Union Stockyards, Cudahy Meatpacking, Denver Pepsi Cola Bottlers, and numerous other firms.
