About Niwot, CO: Niwot was named for Chief Niwot, an Arapaho leader, whose people were hunting and fishing along the Front Range when the first gold miners arrived here in 1858. In the Arapaho language, Niwot means Left Hand.
The town was platted in 1875, two years after the Colorado Central Railroad extended its tracks northeast from Boulder. This expansion provided a significant boost to the local agricultural economy by creating a link to markets as far distant as Wyoming and Denver.
The townsite straddled the railroad tracks which, for the next 75 years, played an important part in Niwot's history. A modest business district stood on the west side of town. There, behind the depot and loading pens, were a blacksmith shop, feed mill, and general stores. East of the tracks, neighborhood streets were laid out.
Structures remaining west of the tracks were razed or moved by 1959, when work began on the Diagonal Highway between Boulder and Longmont. Some of the trees were spared, however, and are still growing in the median.
