Trump, Colorado

Trump is a ghost town in Park County, Colorado, United States.

History

Trump began as an agricultural and ranching settlement, and prospered for a short time during the 1920s and early 1930s.

Trump had a store, and a post office which served neighboring ranches. Trump also hosted rodeo competitions between local ranch hands.

The population of Trump had declined to just three people by 1936.

In 1937, a unique sandstone was identified in the vicinity by J. H. Johnson, and was named "Trump conglomerate" after the nearby settlement of Trump.
