Myers.  It is located at Colfax and Lincoln streets.  Interstate Highway 25 is 10 blocks to the west of the capitol.  It is designed in Neoclassical.  The major supporting structures is the Supreme Court Courthouse which also houses the Court of Appeals.  The state was officially created as the 38th<\/sup> state on August 1, 1876 from the Colorado Territory which came from territories of the Louisiana Purchase, Mexico and Native American lands.  The state\u2019s name comes from a Spanish word for the red silt in the Colorado River.  The name of Denver comes from the governor of the Kansas Territory, James W. Denver.  Denver has been the only capital since 1867.  Mount Elbert in Lake County is the highest point and the Arkansas River at the Kansas border is the lowest point. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
