History
The history of Sunnyside begins in 1858 when Denver founder William H. Larimer, Jr. crosses the Platte River to find higher ground.
The area evolved from rural farming into a vibrant immigrant community, due, in part, to its proximity to rail yards and smelters. At first Irish and Italians, later Hispanics.
In 1902, Sunnyside was annexed to Denver.
In 1913, the Argo smelter burns down and is never rebuilt. And in 1927, the 38th Ave Subway opened to carry cars and pedestrians under the railroad tracks.
An area rich with mob history.
In 1947, Clyde Smaldone, from the infamous Italian mob family, opens Gaetano’s. While the restaurant remains today, it’s mob links are history. Some say the restaurant is haunted, others remember the old days when Frank Sinatra or Sammy Davis Jr. played cards in the basement. Read more.
Today
Sunnyside and surrounding areas benefit from rapid redevelopment, bringing with it, restaurants and bars, new construction and more public transportation.
