Littleton was the brainchild of New Hampshire engineer Richard Sullivan Little, who was hired to survey land outside the young and expanding Denver. He staked a personal claim to one particular spot, where he was allowed to build a homestead with his wife in 1862. A small mill was set up in the area around 1867 after the Littles gained neighbors. After the arrival of railroads within their vicinity, the Littles and their neighbors filed a plat for what would become the village of Littleton, in 1872. Things were expanding well four years later, with schools, churches, a hotel, and several other establishments in the area. They would be incorporated in 1890.
Littleton became temporary county seat for the newly-separated Arapahoe in 1902 after the old Arapahoe was broken up into various separate counties. After defeating Englewood in the 1904 election, it has become the permanent seat.
