Berkeley

Named in tribute to Berkeley Springs, WV, Berkeley neighborhood in Denver was once a thriving agricultural hub, with alfalfa and celery farms nourished by the pristine waters of Rocky Mountain and Berkeley Lakes. William Lang, a visionary developer and architect, designed the first 35 homes within the nearly 1,500 acres of farmland, shaping the neighborhood's unique character. The flag celebrates this agricultural legacy with vibrant green stripes, symbolizing the area’s rich farming history. Serene blue represents the lakes that once nourished the land, while crisp white peaks honor Lang’s signature architectural style, which emphasized natural materials to create a harmonious balance between his designs and the surrounding landscape.
