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