Geographic and demographic diversity define this city created in 2001. Its 40,000 households occupy a massive footprint through the south end of the metro area. Within that area, neighborhoods range from older, affordable suburban housing on the west side to new high-end developments to the east. Arapahoe Road runs the length of the city and is home to a massive commercial corridor sprawling from both sides of I-25. The Streets at Southglenn, a redevelopment of the Southglenn Mall, is the first development project for the city that could provide a focal point for this geographically and demographically diverse community. Every now and then, carts come before horses. In this case, the paper came before the city. With incorporation on the horizon, we felt the people living in the homes marked for inclusion needed a forum to speak out about and understand the birth of their new city. The Citizen was it and has continued to be the primary source of information about what's happening in this new city.

Both this city and its newspaper, the Independent, are steeped in history. Located just down the road from Denver, Littleton has a character all of its own.
