More on Centennial CO

By any standard, Centennial is one of the youngest cities in the United States. It was only incorporated on 7 February, 2001, created for parts of unincorporated Arapahoe County. The residents of the area voted by a 77% for incorporation, based on a promise that city taxes will be kept at 1%. With a population of 100,000, it was the largest incorporation of a city in US history. Since it is so new, many people still are not aware of its existence, and mailing addresses still show Aurora, Englewood and Littleton, areas that are now part of Centennial.
