Question: How did the Garden of the Gods get its name?

Answer: In 1859, two surveyors were exploring locations for a prospective townsite when they happened across an area of massive sandstone formations. As the story goes, one of them remarked it would be a “capital place for a Biergarten,” to which the other replied, “Biergarten! Why, it is a fit place for the Gods to assemble. We will call it the Garden of the Gods.”
