CORY MERRILL
Named after John J. Cory and Louise A. Merrill, two influential Denver educators, Cory-Merrill neighborhood (located just south of Bonnie Brae) was founded in 1858 as a “dry” town because its citizens didn’t like the saloons that had taken over Denver. Today it is still known as a quiet neighborhood, yet it has become a popular area for residents looking for a laid-back, family-friendly neighborhood with tree-lined streets.
The Cory-Merrill neighborhood, home to over 2,000 houses, is bounded by South University Boulevard on the west, East Mississippi and East Tennessee avenues on the north, South Colorado Boulevard on the east and Interstate 25 on the south.
Cory-Merrill resides in the City of Denver and is surrounded by the neighborhoods of Bonnie Brae, Washington Park and Belcaro. Centrally located, residents enjoy the easy access to I-25 and the RTD light rail station at the University of Denver.
