The first woman to hold the United States Secretary of the Interior position, Gale Ann Norton, attended Thornton High School. Norton held the position during George W. Bush’s presidency from 2001 to 2006.
Riverdale Road is a supposedly haunted road near Thornton, occupied by the spirits
of driving fatalities and previous occupants of the area. Although these tales are most likely the accumulation of urban legends, the drive is eerie at night with twisted cottonwoods and sharp turns; perfect for thrill-seeking junkies.
