Community Coalition
for Barnum
Welcome!
The Community Coalition for Barnum (CCB) represents the Barnum and Barnum West neighborhoods in Denver, Colorado. The CCB is supported by volunteers within the community and consists of local neighbors and business owners. We are an RNO (Registered Neighborhood Organization) and a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization. The Barnum neighborhood is located between 6th Avenue North, Federal Boulevard East, Alameda Avenue South, and Sheridan Boulevard West. Originally founded in 1878, the Barnum and Barnum West community is home to more than 8,000 people. The CCB was started in 1974 and strives to advocate, provide information, and organize on behalf of the Barnum and Barnum West community.
About Barnum & Barnum West
The Barnum neighborhood in West Denver is bounded by Sixth Ave. north, Federal Blvd. east, Alameda Blvd. south, and Perry Street west. Barnum West begins west of Perry and extends to Sheridan Blvd. The community was named after circus mogul P.T. Barnum, who purchased the land in 1878 and briefly owned it before selling it to his daughter, Helen Buchtel.
