Barnum West

Barnum West, a west-side Denver neighborhood, takes its name from the legendary showman P.T. Barnum, who once owned the 760 acres that now shape this community. This flag pays tribute to that legacy with a striking yellow elephant—a nod to Barnum’s famous circus—set against a bold red background. The design breaks from traditional flag principles to embrace the neighborhood’s rich history and vibrant character, celebrating its unique place in Denver’s story. Barnum was divided into two statistical neighborhoods in 1970 to create neighborhoods of roughly the same population at the time.
