Abstract
D. R. Meyer's model of frontier urban growth hypothesizes predictable links between an emerging frontier center and the national urban system. The effectiveness of Meyer's model is evaluated through a content analysis of nonlocal economic place-name mentions in 19th century Colorado newspapers. Using Denver as a case study, the changing pattern of its links to the national urban system between 1859 and 1879 suggests elaborations and revisions in the Meyer model. Interpretations offered by Vance, Conzen, Muller, Pred, and others are used to pose an alternative model of frontier center linkages with a dynamic national urban system.
