Sloan’s Lake

The legend of Thomas F. Sloan accidentally striking an underground aquifer while digging a well for his family's farm—giving rise to Sloan’s Lake—is a defining piece of local lore. What began as a chance discovery has shaped one of Denver’s most vibrant and rapidly growing neighborhoods.

Today, Sloan’s Lake and its surrounding community attract residents and visitors alike, drawn by the area’s scenic beauty and abundant recreational opportunities. The flag’s design captures this essence, with elements representing the lake’s shimmering waters, the majestic mountain views that define its skyline, and the neighborhood’s ongoing evolution. A balance of past and future is woven into the flag’s symbolism, honoring the area’s rich history while embracing its dynamic growth.
