Trinidad, Colorado
Trinidad is a Home Rule Municipality that is the county seat and the most populous city of Las Animas County, Colorado, United States.〔(【引用サイトリンク】accessdate=2011-06-07 )〕 The population was 9,096 as of the 2010 census, up slightly from 9,078 in 2000. The estimate as of 2012 was 8,771. Trinidad lies 21 miles (33 kilometers) north of Raton, New Mexico and 195 miles (305 km) south of Denver.
==Early History==
Trinidad was first explored by Spanish and Mexican traders, who liked its proximity to the Santa Fe Trail. It was founded after coal was discovered in the region, in 1862; this led to an influx of immigrants, eager to capitalize on this important natural resource. By the late 1860s, the town had about 1,200 residents. 〔 "Trinidad's History... Along the Santa Fe Trail." () 〕 Trinidad was officially incorporated in 1876, just a few months before Colorado became a state. 〔 "Main Street Trinidad." Colorado Magazine Online. () 〕 An important milestone for the town occurred in 1878, when the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway reached Trinidad, making it easier for goods to be shipped from distant locations. 〔 "Great American Stations: Trinidad, CO." () 〕 In the 1880s, Trinidad became home to a number of well-known people, including Bat Masterson, who briefly served as the town's marshal in 1882. 〔 "Wonders of the West." () 〕 By 1900, the population of Trinidad had grown to 7,500. It was now home to two English-language newspapers, and one that was published in Spanish. 〔 American Newspaper Directory, 1900 edition, p. 94. 〕
In the early 1900s, Trinidad became nationally known for having the first woman sports editor of a newspaper, Ina Eloise Young. 〔 "She's Sporting Editor." Editor & Publisher, December 21, 1907, p. 11. 〕 Her expertise was in baseball, and in 1908, she was the only woman sportswriter to cover the World Series. 〔 C-N Only Coloradio Newspaper That Has Special Writer at World's Championship Games." Trinidad Chronicle-News, October 12, 1908, p. 1. 〕 During the same period of time, Trinidad was also home to a popular semi-pro baseball team, which was briefly coached by Damon Runyon. 〔 "An All-Star Team Picked by A.D. Runyon." Denver Daily News, September 15, 1907, p. S2. 〕
On August 7, 1902, the Bowen Town coal mine, six miles north of Trinidad, experienced a horrific gas explosion, killing 13 miners. 〔 "Thirteen Miners Blown Up in Mine Near Trinidad." Denver Daily News, August 8, 1902, p. 1. 〕 At the time it was one of the worst mining disasters in the state; conditions in the mine provided the impetus for several labor strikes. At one point in late 1903, an estimated 3,000 miners, members of the United Mine Workers of America, went out on strike. 〔 "Almost Unanimous Action By Southern Colorado Men." Denver Daily News, November 9, 1903, p. 2. 〕 In, 1904, Trinidad experienced several disasters. In mid-January, a fire destroyed two blocks of the business section of the town, causing more than seventy-five thousands dollars in damages. 〔 "Worst Fire in Trinidad's History Destroys Two Business Blocks." Denver Post, January 12, 1904, p. 8. 〕 Then, in late September, the Trinidad area and the region along the Las Animas river endured an unusually heavy rainstorm, leading to severe flooding; the flood destroyed the Santa Fe railroad station, wiped out every bridge in town and caused several hundred thousand dollars of property damage. 〔 "Destructive Flood Sweeps Trinidad, Colo." Omaha World Herald, October 1, 1904, p. 4. 〕 But as Trinidad continued to grow, this was also a period of time when a number of new construction projects began in the downtown area, including a new library, a new city hall, an opera house, and a new hotel. 〔 "New Opera House and a City Hall." Denver Daily News, February 20, 1904, p. 11. 〕
