In February, 1881, a meeting of miners
was called for the purpose of laying out a town.
James Smith gave up his claim to the ranch.
The site was surveyed and platted by Trumbor
& Beebe. Lots were distributed and building
commenced. Considerable discussion ensued as
to what would be the best name for the town,
some wanting Chloride, others the original
name, Pyrites. Chloride was considered by the
majority as being the most suggestive and con-
sequently was adopted.
