About the Denver area
Denver's economy is based partially on its geographic position and its connection to some of the major transportation systems of the country.

In the early days of the city, gold and silver booms and busts played a large role in the economic success of the city. In the 1970s and early 1980s, the energy crisis in America created an energy boom in Denver captured in the soap opera Dynasty.
