About GES

Globeville, Elyria, and Swansea (GES) are neighborhoods in the North Denver area bordering Commerce City. Officially designated as Globeville, and Elyria-Swansea by the city of Denver, these communities are some of the oldest in Denver. Today, the neighborhoods are home to a vibrant Hispanic culture, which intertwines with the heritage of the European immigrants who originally lived in the area to create a community unlike anywhere else in Denver. The more than 11,000 residents of GES contend with poor environmental quality and encroachment by a growing city while fighting to maintain the community and culture they call home.
