The urban/suburban development of the community known as Lakewood was begun in 1889 by Charles Welch and W.A.H. Loveland, who platted a 13-block area along Colfax Avenue west of Denver in eastern Jefferson County. Loveland, the former president of the Colorado Central Railroad, retired to the new community of Lakewood after many years of living in nearby Golden.

Culture and contemporary life
Lakewood never had a traditional downtown area. West Colfax Ave from Harlan west to Kipling and beyond had most commercial establishment. In addition to the Jewish Consumptive Relief Society (JCRS) for TB patients and the small frame Methodist Church, there emerged by the 1950s grocery and drug stores, gas stations, restaurants & taverns, several motels, a movie theater, roller rink and bowling alley, and used car lots.
Several multi-business “shopping centers” developed followed by much larger centers at JCRS and Westland. The Villa Italia Mall on Alameda Blvd. 20 blocks south of Colfax, reflected the southward expansion of Lakewood settlement. It housed a larger concentration of retail space. As the mall went into decline the Lakewood City Council developed a plan to demolish the Villa Italia Mall and replace it with a new development called Belmar. Belmar is a modern downtown area with a diverse mix of residential, retail and cultural establishments.
