It was the first of its kind in the County of Adams, as well as the first which provided complete municipal services off a single tax levy. The name of the city was chosen in order to honor Dan Thornton, Former Colorado Governor.

In order to help guide the development of the new community, the Thornton community Association (or likewise called TCA) was formed. By the year 1955, over 5,500 people lived within Thornton in approximately 1,200 houses. During the year 1956 Thornton was incorporated, due mostly in part to the TCA.
