DENVER
Denver, formerly known as Dry Pond, was first settled in the mid-1700s by Scots Irish and Germans from Pennsylvania. For most of its history, it was a farming community, with some residents also working in the textile mills. When Lake Norman was formed, it turned this small town on the lake’s west side into a bustling bedroom community for Charlotte.
