About Littleton Business Guide
Littleton Business Guide is a directory of the shops, restaurants, and services that make Historic Downtown Littleton one of Colorado's most beloved Main Street communities.
Settled in 1862 and incorporated in 1890, Littleton grew up along the South Platte River as a farming and milling town south of Denver. Its four-block Main Street -- anchored by the 1920 Town Hall building -- has been the center of community life for over a century.
What Makes Littleton Special
Downtown Littleton is not a trendy urban district trying to attract the next tech startup. It is a genuine small-town Main Street where families have shopped for generations. The antique stores, independent bookshops, and family-run restaurants that line Main Street reflect a community that values character over novelty and craftsmanship over mass production.
Walk from Curtice Street to Rapp Street and you will pass the Depot Art Gallery in the restored 1888 train depot, the Town Hall Arts Center offering professional theater in a 285-seat venue, craft meaderies and tea houses, vintage record shops, and ice cream parlors that remember what a proper scoop looks like.
