Incorporated in 1904,
Arvada is an attractive suburb just northwest of Denver. Following the discovery of gold in 1850, Arvada matured into a truck farming community supplying produce to Denver and was once known as "The Celery Capitol of the World".
Today, more than 100,000 people call Arvada home. Blending modern developments with a rich historic past makes Arvada a stimulating place to live and work. Close to leading universities and research institutes, Arvada offers a diverse economic base, a highly educated workforce, a low crime rate, and a pro-business environment.
The Arvada Center for the Arts and Humanities provides diverse, year-round programs including theater, concerts, art exhibitions, and arts and humanities classes for all ages. The city’s popular parks and trail systems link downtown Denver to the foothills, as well as providing access to mountain recreation and other activities.
