During the late 19th and early 20th century, several small newspapers kept the citizens of the independent towns of Globeville, Elyria, and Swansea informed. During 1891 - 1892, The Rocky Mountain and Globeville Chronicle was published weekly, as well as the Elyria Journal and Globeville News from an office at 1749 Champa Street. C. H. Pierce produced a newspaper called the Elyria Post in 1899, and Halsey M. Rhoads published the Globeville Chronicle in 1900. It would be fascinating to read any of these publications but no copies seem to exist.
During the 1970s, a monthly publication, El Vecino, served the Globeville, Elyria, Swansea, Highlands, Jefferson Park, Westside and Sunnyside neighborhoods. Currently, La Voz and El Semanario offer bi-lingual reporting of the greater metropolitan area. Since then, these neighborhoods have not had a publication that reports on issues relevant to their communities. Until now.
For the past two years, David Sabados has published The Denver North Star, a monthly newspaper that serves the Denver neighborhoods west of I-25 and north of Colfax. The nearby neighborhoods of Globeville, Elyria, Swansea and RiNo now have a similar publication in the G. E. S. Gazette. Each month, the Gazette will be spotlighting businesses and organizations, as well as reporting on city council meetings and schools. There will be information on codes and zoning changes and development. And there will be stories about concerts, events, festivals and shows in this vibrant area. The Gazette is published in both English and Spanish, so grab a copy and discover new places in your neighborhood.
