| Info | James Quigg Newton Jr.
An attorney and very successful businessman, Quigg Newton was elected Mayor of Denver in 1947 and served for two terms. The grandson of a Colorado Territory pioneer and a World War II veteran, Newton is largely credited with the modernization of the Denver city government, due to his extensive knowledge of external funding resources. Additionally, Mayor Newton created the Mayor’s Committee on Human Relations in 1948. He would later become the president of the University of Colorado, after holding numerous public offices. Newton was also a member of the Republican National Committee, Kiwanis Club, the Denver Country Club, the Elks Club, and the Colorado Sons of the Revolution. Today, several buildings in and around Denver are named in Netwon’s honor.
