==Government and infrastructure== The [[Federal Correctional Institution, Englewood]], is named after Englewood, but is not near Englewood.<ref>Jones, Rebecca. "[https://web.archive.org/web/20121104101053/http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-67480814.html Article: Prison Has a Field of Vision]." ''[[Rocky Mountain News]]''. May 2, 1999. Retrieved on July 28, 2010. "You're talking about the Englewood Federal Correctional Institution - which, interestingly, is nowhere near Englewood, but that's the federal government for you. (It has a Littleton mailing address, as does most of south Jefferson County, though it's nowhere near Littleton, either, but that's a wacky question for another day.)"</ref> It is in [[unincorporated area|unincorporated]] [[Jefferson County, Colorado|Jefferson County]].<ref>"[http://www.bop.gov/DataSource/execute/dsFacilityAddressLoc?start=y&facilityCode=eng FCI Englewood Contact Information] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130221115050/http://www.bop.gov/DataSource/execute/dsFacilityAddressLoc?start=y&facilityCode=eng |date=February 21, 2013 }}." [[Federal Bureau of Prisons]]. Retrieved on July 28, 2010.</ref> ===Civic Center=== The Englewood Civic Center is located in the only remaining portion of the [[Cinderella City Mall]]. It contains the Englewood Public Library, The Museum of Outdoor Arts, and all city departments, including the courts.<ref>{{cite web |title=City of Englewood {{!}} City Departments |url=https://www.englewoodco.gov/government/city-departments |website=City of Englewood}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Museum of Outdoor Arts |url=https://moaonline.org/ |website=Museum of Outdoor Arts |access-date=September 12, 2021}}</ref> ===The Englewood Public Library=== The Englewood Public Library is a full service library. There are computers for public use, as well as printers and copiers. The Library also has a small section on Colorado and Englewood history, a microfiche collection, and an archive of local history.<ref>{{cite web |title=Englewood Public Library |url=https://www.englewoodco.gov/parks-recreation-library-golf/library |website=Englewood Public Library |access-date=September 12, 2021 |archive-date=October 24, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221024101934/https://www.englewoodco.gov/parks-recreation-library-golf/library |url-status=dead }}</ref> The [[Cherrelyn Horse Car]] can be viewed in front of the library. ===Neighborhoods=== Central Englewood can be roughly divided into quadrants, divided by Hampden Avenue and Broadway. The northwest is the oldest section of the city, containing the new City Center, downtown, and housing stock dating to the 1910s. This is also where the massive General Iron metal fabrication plant was located, which closed in the 1990s and has now been demolished, awaiting redevelopment and a new proposed light-rail station at Bates Avenue. The southwest section is home to a newer housing stock, as well as a significant percentage of Englewood's industrial and production facilities.[[Image:EnglewoodParkSign.jpg|thumb|right|Belleview Park]] The southwest side also features Belleview Park, its largest park, and a small reservoir. The southeast section is almost purely residential, and is newer than the north and southwest sides. Finally, northeast Englewood is home to one of the largest hospital complexes in the metro area. [[Swedish Medical Center (Colorado)|Swedish Medical Center]] and [[Craig Hospital]], a top-10, nationally ranked<ref name=CraigRank>{{cite web | url = https://www.usnews.com/directories/hospitals/index_html/specialty+REPREHA/ | title = Best Hospitals - ''U.S. News & World Report'' | year = 2009 | access-date = June 16, 2009}}</ref> rehabilitation hospital for spinal cord and traumatic brain injury rehabilitation, comprise the hospital district, the backbone of the city economy. The Hampden Hills neighborhood hosts one of the largest conglomeration of apartment complexes in the metro area, and is also the newest developed part of the city, as well as the wealthiest. Englewood also features some large annexed areas, such as the northwest annex that extends to Evans Avenue in Denver, which is chiefly manufacturing and industry. Finally, Englewood extends southeast to the Highline Canal, and southwest past Federal Blvd. approaching the town of [[Bow Mar]].
