About Downtown Littleton
Downtown Littleton is the historic center of Littleton, a city in the Denver metro area of Colorado. Its focus is Main Street, and on this site we define the neighborhood as the area within about a quarter mile of that street, so most places are an easy walk from one another.
The district has the feel of a small-town downtown rather than a big-city dining zone, with a mix of shops and eateries along the main corridor. Littleton is the county seat of Arapahoe County.
