The Arkansas River Valley and the area of what would become Buena Vista was first settled in 1864 by settlers drawn to the area by the plentiful water which made the land suitable for agriculture.&nbsp;By 1880, the county seat had moved from&nbsp;Granite&nbsp;to Buena Vista, but by 1928&nbsp;Salida&nbsp;had a larger population so the county seat was moved once again. By 1894, Buena Vista had electricity, telephone service, street lights, parks, cemeteries, and schools. Travelers, speculators, and miners traveling up the Arkansas Valley towards&nbsp;Leadville&nbsp;made Buena Vista a popular stagecoach stop, and railroad depot following the 1890s. While certainly experiencing economic ups and downs, the valley's agricultural economy has made the area more resistant to the 'boom, bust' cycle of mining towns.&nbsp;Buena Vista is located in central Colorado roughly midway between&nbsp;Salida&nbsp;and&nbsp;Leadville&nbsp;in the Upper&nbsp;Arkansas River&nbsp;Valley at an elevation of 7,965 feet (2,428&nbsp;m). The area between Buena Vista and Salida is often referred to as the&nbsp;Denver &amp; Rio Grande, South Park &amp; Pacific, and&nbsp;Colorado Midland&nbsp;railroads. Many of the existing buildings of Buena Vista date back to this era, and were built in the 1880s and 1890s.&nbsp;The name "Buena Vista",&nbsp;Spanish&nbsp;for "Good View", can often be heard pronounced locally as "Byoo-na Vista". This Americanized pronunciation was specified by Alsina Dearheimer, who chose this name for the town, which was officially selected over other names (Cottonwood, Mahonville) on the occasion of the town's incorporation. Alternate pronunciations include "Bwenna Veesta" (Spanish pronunciation) and simply "Biewnie." Many residents simply refer to the town as "BV".

Denver, the capital of Colorado, is an American metropolis dating to the Old West era. Larimer Square, the city’s oldest block, features landmark 19th-century buildings. Museums include the Denver Art Museum, an ultramodern complex known for its collection of indigenous works, and the mansion of famed Titanic survivor Molly Brown. Denver is also a jumping-off point for ski resorts in the nearby Rocky Mountains.&nbsp;As of January 2013, the City and County of Denver defined 78 official neighborhoods&nbsp;that the city and community groups use for planning and administration. Although the city's delineation of the neighborhood boundaries is somewhat arbitrary, it corresponds roughly to the definitions used by residents. These "neighborhoods" should not be confused with cities or suburbs, which may be separate entities within the metro area.The character of the neighborhoods varies significantly from one to another and includes everything from large skyscrapers to houses from the late 19th century to modern, suburban-style developments. Generally, the neighborhoods closest to the city center are denser, older, and contain more brick building material. Many neighborhoods away from the city center were developed after World War II, and are built with more modern materials and style. Some of the neighborhoods even farther from the city center, or recently redeveloped parcels anywhere in the city, have either very suburban characteristics or are&nbsp;new urbanist&nbsp;developments that attempt to recreate the feel of older neighborhoods.
