Montbello is one of the largest neighborhoods in Denver. In September 1965, the neighborhood started as a suburban-style development by Jordon Perlmutter, 49, the real estate developer who introduced the concept of planned communities to Denver.

Born in Denver to Jewish parents Abe Perlmutter and Dora Perlmutter, Jordon attended the University of Denver in Denver on an athletic scholarship. During the Korean War, he had to leave his studies to serve in the U.S. Coast Guard.
