Where does the neighborhood Bow Mar get it’s name? It’s short for Bowles Lake and Marston Lake, which were named after two farmers who put this area on the map. The founder of King Soopers, Lloyd King, then hired a real estate agent to purchase the 575 acre parcel of land to become a luxury neighborhood that would govern itself. In a sense, this did actually come to fruition, however, the parcel was sold off to another developer and King’s ideation never came to fruition.
