No Name, Colorado - Why does it have the name "No Name"


  1. No Name received its name after Interstate 70 was constructed. Shortly after its completion, the Colorado Department ofTransportation set out to improve signage. A DOT official noticed the region did not have a name and wrote "No Name" for Exit 119, the ramp a motorist would take to access the area.
  2. Official Recognition

  3. Over time, locals began to accept the name No Name for their region, and it began to gain recognition because of the oddity. High-level state officials attempted to give the area a proper name, but locals reportedly balked at such a suggestion and No Name endured as the unincorporated area's formal name.
