Hilltop like many of the historic Denver neighborhoods was not developed until water reached the area. A branch of the Highline canal called the “ City Lateral Canal ” was built in 1885. Hilltop was not an original neighborhood per se. It was not until 1893 that two other subdivisions were joined to create what is now Hilltop. Originally, to the north end of Hilltop was the Malone and DuBois Subdivision established in 1886. Later, the Eastern Capitol Hill Subdivision was created. The dividing line between 3rd and 4th avenues does not line up as these two original subdivisions were platted individually without integration with the other. In 1893, the two were combined as Hilltop and annexed to the City of Denver .
