The Westminster Historical Society has assembled the following history of how the City of Westminster came into being over the past 150 years.
"Prior to the 1850s, the area that was to become Westminster, Colorado, was inhabited by small herds of buffalo and antelope, and was dotted with small, marshy ponds. There is strong evidence that the Arapahoe indians maintained a semipermanent encampment in the vicinity of Gregory Hill."
