Trump is a ghost town in Park County, Colorado, United States.[1]

History

Trump was an agricultural and ranching settlement which prospered during the 1920s and early 1930s.[2][3]

Trump had a store, and a post office which served neighboring ranches. Trump also hosted rodeo competitions between local ranch hands.[2][3]

The population of Trump had declined to three people by 1936.[3]

In 1937, a unique sandstone was identified in the vicinity by J. H. Johnson, and was named "Trump conglomerate" after the nearby settlement.[4][5]
