Discover Arvada

Native Americans and their ancestors have lived in the Arvada region for at least 13,500 years and possibly more than 37,000. Before 1858 it was the land of the Arapaho and Cheyenne, with occasional visits by the Ute and Comanche.

More about Arvada

The first documented gold discovery in the Rocky Mountain region came on June 22, 1850, when Lewis Ralston, a Georgia prospector bound for California, dipped his pan into a stream near Clear Creek and found about a quarter ounce of gold, then worth about five dollars. The rest of his party was unimpressed and moved on the next morning, and Ralston gave up after a few days and followed. The spot is now in Arvada's Gold Strike Park on Ralston Creek. In 1858 Ralston led another party back. Most soon gave up, but some found gold up the South Platte, which helped set off the Pikes Peak Gold Rush. In 1860 Benjamin F. Wadsworth claimed a 160-acre homestead on Clear Creek and the next year began the irrigation ditch that bears his name. Some miners gave up prospecting to farm the rich bottomland and sold their crops to other gold seekers. On December 1, 1870, Wadsworth and Louis A. Reno platted the Ralston Point townsite along the new railroad to Golden. To avoid confusion with other places on Ralston Creek, it was soon renamed Arvada for Hiram Arvada Haskin, brother-in-law of the settler Mary Wadsworth. The post office opened on February 16, 1871, with Benjamin Wadsworth as postmaster. Sources Wikipedia: Arvada, Colorado
