Aspen History
The history of the area says that in 1879 large deposits of silver were discovered here, after which Aspen came out on top in the country in its production. It got its name due to the abundance of one of the species of aspen – Aspen. The city prospered during the 1880s, the first ten years of its existence.
The Jerome Grand Hotel Aspen
New hotels and restaurants opened, shops and trading shops appeared. Elements of elitism began to appear in the city. In 1889, the first attribute of a luxurious life appeared in Aspen: the Jerome Grand Hotel, equipped with hydraulic elevators – the latest achievement in technology at that time. In addition, the Jerome Hotel is the first building in the Wild West to be lit by electricity. Since then, the elevator and wiring have been replaced, but in all other respects Jerome keeps to the old days: red brick, hunting trophies on the walls and other retro things, assuring that both 19th-century gold miners and 60s Hollywood stars sat here.
Aspen Mountain Ski Resort
After the depletion of silver reserves, since 1936 the city began to develop as a ski area. Today Aspen is the most prestigious and fashionable ski resort in the USA. In 1950, the Aspen ski slopes hosted the Alpine Skiing World Championships. Modern Aspen is the city with the most expensive real estate in the States, the center of attraction for Hollywood stars and European billionaires. Despite the big name, the resort city is open to everyone!
