Historically, Athmar Park was annexed incrementally by the City of Denver. In 1902 the eastern edge of Athmar Park was annexed, along with the town of Valverde, from Zuni to the South Platte River border. In 1932 the area west of Zuni was annexed by the City of Denver. The area west of the town of Valverde that had originally been in the hands of three different owners was auctioned and purchased by Thomas and John R. McCusker in 1946 and developed into the subdivision of Denver named "Athmar Park."
