Before Thornton was the thriving city it is today, the area was mainly acres and acres of farmland and ranches. Its close location to the city of Denver appealed to Sam Hoffman, a land developer that purchased some of the land where Thornton is today back in the 1950s. Hoffman designed and planned a community that would soon be built here, complete with many resources and recreational amenities to make Thornton appealing to people looking for a place to live near Denver.
