The top employers in this city include Jones International University, US Foods, Comcast, South Metro Fire Rescue, Saunders Construction and United HealthCare to name a few. The close proximity to the Denver Tech Center makes this an excellent location for many professionals who work in one of its many large office buildings. The ‘Streets at Southglenn’ is a new outdoor shopping area located on the Western end of the City.

History

Centennial came about as the result of combined efforts from volunteers representing several unincorporated segments of Arapahoe County in an attempt to prevent further annexation by Greenwood Village. The vote for incorporation was passed in September 2000, and the official creation of the city came about a few months later, in February 2001. Six years later, the citizens would vote incorporate home rule for Centennial. It is one of the youngest cities in the country.

Amenities and Famous Landmarks

Centennial maintains a good portion of public and private enterprises that provide education, health, recreation, and safety for its citizens. Many of these amenities are offshoots of those established before incorporation. Most of Centennial can be accessed via Regional Transportation District (RTD) at the Dry Creek station. RTD bus lines also pass throughout the metro including Arapahoe Road and Quebec Street. Public education is available from either Littleton or Cherry Creek. Regis Jesuit High school and Saint Thomas More Catholic School are some of the private school options. Medical facilities include East-West Health Center, Catholic Health Initiatives, Centennial Medical Plaza, Children’s Hospital Colorado Orthopedic Care, University of Colorado Hospital, Rocky Mountain Urgent Care, and Littleton Adventist Hospital.

This is the first park that was made specifically for Centennial. Opened in 2012, this award-winning 11-acre park provides spaces for kids to play in and spots for the adults to enjoy a night of fun and music.
