Beginning in 1860, the community began with a little old shack called Twenty Mile House for a stage stop. As it grew into a 10-room inn under the ownership of namesake James Sample Parker, it became a major stopping point for the railroad. During the Great Depression of the 1930s, the bank was robbed, railroad tracks were washed out, and low prices in the produce market almost destroyed the village. As Denver CO real estate grew towards the area, Parker CO incorporated in 1981 with 285 people to avoid annexation. Twenty-five years later, there are over 40,000 residents.

However, governmental agencies and residents have worked to sustain the small-town atmosphere in the beautiful rural area. Adopting a pro-business attitude, utilizing technology and creativity, the community has pulled together an exemplary sense of teamwork and volunteerism.
