The population exploded at this point like it never had before. From 4,759 in 1870 as the railroads were putting up their last spikes to 35,689 in 1880. This allowed for Denver to the three prerequisites for a “Jacksonian dream of a commercial empire in the heart of the continent.” Denver now had control of trade routes in its geographic region, a flourishing commerce system, and a number of viable natural resources to tap into.
