Soon the city was named as Denver, but William failed to achieve what he was trying to. Because he was unaware of the fact that Governor James W. Denver has resigned from his post. At that time it was expected that soon the city of Denver will be turned into a ghost town as the reserves of gold were very poor and small in nature. But in 1959 rich gold deposits were discovered in the west of Denver which makes the city alive once again. In 1865 Denver city shortened its name to Denver and in 1881 through nationwide voting it was declared as the permanent state capital.The aura or period of 1870-1900 was very important for the city of Denver.
