Golden History: Heritage Dells Begins
Breaking ground for the Heritage Dells neighborhood – Golden Transcript – February 13, 1979
Click to enlarge
46 Years Ago
The July 28, 1978 Golden Transcript included an article titled “Subdivision proposed near Heritage Square.” It described a 91-acre planned unit development on land owned by Leon Bachman. The area would be called “Heritage Hills.” The first phase, to be called “Heritage Dells,” called for 218 single family homes, a 4.6 acre park, and a pedestrian-bicycle path.
The City Planner said that the City could accommodate the new water taps but would need to install new water lines and build a new water tank. He also said that eventually we would need an elementary school and junior high in that area.
This map, which appeared in the June 1, 1982 Golden Transcript, showed that Heritage Dells was the first of many neighborhoods in that part of town. It would be followed by Eagle Ridge, Tripp Ranch, and Stonebridge.
Shelton Elementary opened in 1994. Rather than building a new junior high at the south end of town, Bell Middle School was expanded. Heritage Dells park was built, as promised in the original proposal.
Thanks to the Golden History Museum for providing the online cache of historic Transcripts, and to the Golden Transcript for documenting our history since 1866!

A call to support the U.S. Marine Corps Memorial in Golden after sprayed with anti-war graffiti
By Jeff Anastasio
JEFFERSON COUNTY, Colo. – For decades, the U.S. Marine Corps Memorial in Golden has been a place for visitors to pay tribute to the sacrifices of military members.
In less than a month, the memorial will mark its 47th anniversary but on Friday, volunteers were left to clean up a mess after vandals spray-painted it with anti-war graffiti, including messages of “free Gaza.” Read more...
