Ka whai ake te nekehanga ki te waihanga i tētahi rohe i roto i ngā rohe o Colorado i te wā tata tonu. I akiaki ngā tangata o Denver me Golden mō te tūnga rohe o te rohe hou i roto i te tau kotahi o te whakatūnga o ngā taone. I whakatairangahia te nekehanga e William Byers, kaiwhakaputa o te Rocky Mountain News, me Larimer, e hiahia ana ki te waiho hei kawana rohe tuatahi. I te tau 1859, i whakatūria e ngā kainoho te Rohe o Jefferson, a, i whakahaerehia ngā pōtitanga, engari kāore i mōhiotia te rohe e te Kaunihera o Te Hononga o Amerika, ā, kāore anō i whiwhi tūnga ture. Pātai: Ko wai te kaiwhakaputa o RMN?
Ko William Byers
