More on Arvada CO
With a population of 106,000 (2011 estimate), Arvada is the 8th most populous city in Colorado. It traces its history back to 1850, when a settlement was established there by gold prospectors. The person credited with founding Arvada was Georgian prospector Lewis Ralston. Some of the failed prospectors turned to farming the area, and their farm produce helped to feed the growing tide of prospectors descending on the area.
The laying of the Colorado Central Railroad through Arvada in 1870 helped to spur its growth. The city was incorporated on 14 August, 1904. By then it had growned into a major farming district, and was nicknamed the "Celery Capital of the World".
