}}Watkins (also once called Box Elder) is a census-designated place (CDP)[2] in Arapahoe[3] and Adams counties, Colorado, United States, adjacent to the city of Aurora. It was formerly an incorporated town.[4][5] The post office serving Watkins, which actually lies within the Aurora city limits, has the ZIP Code 80137.[6] As of the 2010 census Watkins had a population of 653.[7]

A post office called Watkins has been in operation since 1878.[8] The community was named after L. A. Watkins, a cattleman.[9] Long an unincorporated community, Watkins incorporated as a town on June 15, 2004.[5] However, on November 7, 2006, the town voted to revert to being an unincorporated community by a margin of 308-184.

Watkins is involved in trying to build the First Park in Adams County, and the Watkins Historical Preservation Society is co-operating with the town on some historical buildings for installation in the park as well. Front Range Airport is located near Watkins.
