City of Arvada recently issued the following announcement.
In a proclamation at the Nov. 16 City Council meeting, the Arvada City Council will designate Dec. 1, 2020 as "Arvada Naming Day" in recognition of the vision, hard work and dedication of our founding community members.
Look for the Olde Town Water Tower to be lighted gold Sunday, Nov. 29 - Friday, Dec. 4 in honor of the 150 year anniversary.
December of 2020 marks the 150th anniversary since a small plat map was filed in Jefferson County creating the framework for a thriving Arvada. In honor of this significant occasion, we take this opportunity to acknowledge that our community has developed within what we now call the Clear Creek and Ralston valleys, which are the ancestral lands of the Cheyenne, Ute and Sioux Peoples past and present.
Our gratitude and thanks to the Arvada Historical Society for providing the information for the following article and for the use of the photos provided by the Arvada Historical Society and Jefferson County Archives.
