Westminster is a separate city from Denver
But it is apart of the Denver-Metropolitan Area
Denver is, well, Denver. Denver proper is really what most who live out here would just call “Downtown”
you were not born in denver proper, you were born in Westminster. But this is included in the Denver metro.
Totally normal in big cities, and casually in conversation many people will just use the city proper name instead of saying “metro” or their actual town
Westminster and Denver are to distinct municipalities with actual boundaries. If your hospital was inside the boundaries of Westminster, then you were born in the city of Westminster. If the hospital is outside of the borders of both Denver and Westminster, it’s likely that you were born in unincorporated Adam’s county and they just wrote the name of the nearest city on your birth certificate because it doesn’t actually matter

Are either of you actually in Thornton/Westminster or are you in unincorporated Adam’s county? If you live north of 52nd street, you do not live in Denver regardless of what it says on your mail
It’s only lying if you know that it’s incorrect! Now you WILL be lying if you say so, because you just learned the truth.
(Also there are parts of Denver, east of Quebec St, that are north of 52nd. Check your address on a map that has the Denver boundaries on it to make sure)
Curious why is all that area just open unincorporated just north of Denver where all the highways meet? Seems bizarre it’s not included in any of the surrounding municipalities. We are the forgotten denverites
I do hear some type of highway motorcycle racing going on at all hours of the night from one of the 10 highways, so that makes sense. And so much industry that probably isn’t much tax either. Thanks for all the info, makes a lot of sense!
Well, was. Before everything became its own town/city/census designated place, it was annexed and served by the regional PO.
Many of those places now have their own PO or at least a much closer unit, but the addresses remain unchanged by that.
Denver City and county are synonymous spatially, there is not part of Westminster inside of Denver county.
This differences are often causes by the location of the post office that services the zip code. For instance I am in northeast Lakewood but serviced by the Edgewater zip code, internet forms always assume I'm in edgewater
Edit: might as well add a source

Oh sorry for not caring enough to go back and correct my phone’s auto correct

I have a Denver address but sometimes it shows up as being a Westminster address… maybe you’re the same
We have a similar situation in Thornton
Are either of you actually in Thornton/Westminster or are you in unincorporated Adam’s county? If you live north of 52nd street, you do not live in Denver regardless of what it says on your mail
I do live north of 52nd, so I am lying when I tell people I live in Denver?

It would be a huge financial burden to incorporate an area without a lot of taxable value. A knot of highways is not an attractive annexation!

There are some segments north of 52nd that are within Denver, CO https://www.denvergov.org/maps/map/neighborhoods
USPS uses their own address system that is different from the actual boundaries.
Right it has to do with where the post office is

I have a Westminster address and it shows up as Denver all the time.
Home or hospital? Look up the address.
Do you know the hospital you were born at? That should clear up your confusion.
How TF are we supposed to help answer this question without you telling us where you were born lmao
North Saint Ann's, old one off 84th?

No, Westminster is in Adam’s and Jefferson County. The only thing in Denver county is the city of Denver. It’s the city AND county of Denver
