The homestead soon grew into a small settlement thanks to its location along the Cherokee andOverlandtrails, which both saw increased traffic during theColorado Gold Rush. Other families followed the Medinas, forming a community of homesteads in the Big Thompson valley. Traffic along the stagecoach trails declined as railroads expanded in the 1870s, and in 1877 William Loveland established the town of Loveland as he built his Colorado Central Railroad (CCR) north fromGoldento link up with the transcontinental route in Cheyenne, Wyoming. Development of Lovelands Main StreetEast Fourth Streetbegan with John L. Herzinger and Samuel B. Harters two-story brick mercantile building, finished in 1878. Within the next year or two came the CCR depot and the Loveland Hotel. By 1886 East Fourth Street had a number of businesses, including banks, grocers, churches, tailors, drugstores, and furniture stores, as well as the Bartholf Opera House, which opened in 1884. Lumberyards and liveries, such as the Orvis and Corbin lumberyard and the Foote and Stoddard Livery, lie on the east end of downtown, while the Loveland Farmers Milling & Elevator Company moved to the west side.
