History[edit]
The name Wadsworth comes from Benjamin Franklin Wadsworth, one of the founders and first postmaster of Arvada. In northwest Arvada, Wadsworth Boulevard passes over Hackberry Hill at the site where a landmark hackberry tree, for which the hill was named, stood before it was cut down to make room for the highway in 1937.
