- Colorado History - Mineral Names The history of Colorado is, in many ways, a history of the mineral discoveries within the state. It is only natural to expect some names related to minerals to become place names.
1. Stone from nearby quarries gave this town south of Carbondale its name. 2. South of Ouray is this town named for the areaÕs silver strikes. 3. Well west of Montrose is a town whose name combines parts of the names uranium and vanadium. 4. Southwest of Ouray is a town named for tellurium. 5. North of Leadville is this town named for quartz deposits. 6. Stones in the area gave this town northwest of Limon its name. 7. Silver gave this town southwest of Canon City its name. 8. West of Boulder is a town bearing the name of an area mineral. 9. South of Florence is a town named for coal deposits found there. 10. West of Wolcott is another mineral named town. 11. North of Buena Vista is a great silver producing town whose name givers credit to a mineral other than silver. 12. Between Aspen and Glenwood Springs is found a town named for area lava deposits.
