...On December 1, 1870,
soon after the construction
of a railroad near the
settlement, and six
years before Colorado
would achieve statehood,
legal notice was posted
for the new Town of
Arvada.
Benjamin F. Wadsworth
and Louis A. Reno filed
a town plat, and Wadsworth's
wife, Mary, named the
new town in honor of
her brother-in-law,
Hiram Arvada Haskin.
