About Denver
Denver, Colorado, is home to approximately 40,000 Muslims, making it the largest Muslim community in the Rocky Mountain region. The Mile High City attracts Muslims from diverse backgrounds, including significant populations from Somalia, Pakistan, and Arab countries. Denver's growing economy and quality of life have fostered an expanding Muslim community with established mosques, schools, and organizations serving the metropolitan area.
Denver's Muslim community has grown steadily since the 1970s, with significant expansion in recent decades. The population includes refugees resettled from Somalia, Iraq, and other countries, alongside immigrant professionals from South Asia, the Middle East, and beyond. The community has established mosques across the metropolitan area, from central Denver to the suburbs of Aurora (home to a large refugee community), Thornton, and Centennial.
The Colorado Muslim Society, established in 1963, anchors the community with the oldest mosque in the state. Newer centers serve growing suburban populations, and Islamic schools provide educational options for Muslim families. Aurora's diverse Muslim community includes significant Somali, Iraqi, and Afghan populations, with halal markets and restaurants serving these communities' needs.
