Arapahoe County is an historic part of the Denver-Aurora-Lakewood Colorado metropolitan statistical area. Arapahoe County calls itself “Colorado’s First County”, since its origins antedate the Pike’s Peak Gold Rush.
On August 25, 1855, the Kansas Territorial Legislature created a huge Arapahoe County to govern the entire western portion of the Territory of Kansas. The county was named for the Arapaho Nation, who lived in the region.
In July 1858, gold was discovered along the South Platte River in Arapahoe County (in present-day Englewood). This discovery precipitated the Pike’s Peak Gold Rush. On November 1, 1861, a new smaller Arapahoe County was organized.
The Territory of Colorado was admitted to the Union as the 38th state, the State of Colorado on August 1, 1876, when U.S. President Ulysses S. Grant signed Proclamation 230. On November 8, 1904, Arapahoe County voters chose Littleton as the county seat.
