The tablet reads:
In this immediate area once stood Arapahoe City, a pioneer placer camp, the earliest town in Jefferson County,
named for the Arapahoe Indians. Town company organized November 29, 1858.
From here went George A. Jackson and John H. Gregory to make their historic gold
discoveries near Idaho Springs and Central City. Arapahoe's population was
89 in1860. Extensive gold dredging operations of 1904 covered part of the
site.
