Denver is a borough in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, United States. The population was 3,332 at the 2000 census.
Founded by Hans Bucher, a Swiss immigrant, in 1735. Soon after it was called Bucher's Thal. In the 1800s a train station was built and the town was renamed Union Station. Residents were growing weary of being referred to as a train station so in 1881, after researching post offices in the country, Adam Brubaker found only one named Denver. On November 1, 1881, the town was officially renamed Denver.
The Butcher's Mill Covered Bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.
