History

The first documented gold discovery here occurred on June 22, 1850. A prospector headed for California, Lewis Ralston, dipped his gold pan into a stream. His return was a $5 gold nugget. In 1858, Ralston brought a group of prospectors back to the site of his first discovery. Farmers soon arrived in order to sell supplies to miners. The railroad was built through the area in 1870. The settlers, needing to establish a town so that the railroad stop could have a name, filed a town plat. The town was named Arvada after the brother-in-law of one of the settlers.
