History
A post office called Tungsten was established in 1916, and remained in operation until 1950.[3] The community took its name from a nearby tungsten mine.[4] Facts–such as the population, precise location, and descriptions of the town–are disputed as one frequently quoted book on the subject, Colorado Ghost Towns (1959), is inconsistent with contemporary news reports on the town. In 1916, 600 people are reported to have lived in the town.[5]
