Mountain View, CO History

Below is a condensed version of the history of Mountain View provided by Dorothy Donovan, Historian, to Mountain View in 1996.
During the gold rush years, the land of the present site of Mountain View was owned by the Yule Family, who subsequently moved to the Crystal River Valley on the Western Slope in Gunnison County.
John Brishen Walker (1847-1930) - In 1879 Walker purchased 1,200 acres of land in the Berkeley area for $1,000. He added to the land until he had 1,600--1,700 acres, which he named Berkeley Farm. Walker and a British investor, Dr. William Bell, grew alfalfa on the farm until the late 1880's.
Walker eventually gave 50 acres of his farm, on which is now Lowell Blvd., to the Jesuit College, (now Regis College).
Walker later sold the land for $325,000 to a Kansas City syndicate, who put the Denver investment firm of Carleton Ellis and John McDonough in charge of the development of a new suburb--the Berkeley Annex.
Carleton Ellis was active in investments and real estate, and was vice president of the Citizens Bank in Denver.
Not much is known about John McDonough. He lived in a spacious home at West 46th Avenue and Perry, in Harkness Heights, a development of his own making.
The Berkeley Annex is from Sheridan Blvd. west to Fenton Street and 41st Avenue north to 44th Avenue. Ellis and McDonough platted what became Mountain View, Colorado, as Plat T3S, R69W on December 19, 1888. (The town was located on the Denver International Railroad at one time.)
It is thought the streets in Mountain View acquired their original Spanish and Indian names from Ellis and McDonough. From Sheridan Blvd. west, the streets were named Allita, Veta, Rietta, Bonita, Chipeta and Uintah.
In February 1897 Arapahoe County (now Denver and Adams County) collaborated with Jefferson County to unify the street system. Names of streets became Ames, Benton, Chase, Depew, Eaton and Fenton. These names were chosen to honor American political figures. Numbered avenues in Mountain View had various names (West 41st was B, Dakota or Maple). West 43rd was C, Wyoming or Oak, while 44th Ave. was D.
