Aurelio Martinez’s family certainly qualifies as Denver’s pioneers. Curtis Park is Denver’s oldest neighborhood, filled with Victorian homes built in the mid-eighteen hundreds.

By the 1950s, Martinez’s extended family and relatives were plentiful in the Curtis Park neighborhood. At one time, Martinez’s extended family owned over 50 Curtis Park homes!
Martinez’s Mother, Josefina Arroyo, was born in Longmont, Colorado. Martinez’s father, Carlos Martinez, was from a small village in Valle de Santiago, Guanajuato, Mexico. The family moved into Curtis Park in 1954. Martinez has three brothers and three sisters.
