Unsourced updates

An anonymous user added an unsourced section on climate and changed the population data to 2006 census numbers. The section is in the article's history, but because there was no source information I (reluctantly) deleted it. If anyone can substantiate the facts and figures with a source, please re-add this information. -- Rick Block (talk) 17:11, 9 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

In trying to verify this data, I found http://www.wrcc.dri.edu/summary/Climsmco.html, which has historical climate data for two different reporting stations in Monument. -- Rick Block (talk) 17:13, 9 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Incorporation - when?

I have two apparently reliable sources that give two different dates of incorporation for Monument:

June 2, 1879: http://www.townofmonument.net/Admin_town_history.asp:
Monument has been an incorporated town since June 2, 1879. The first town meeting was held July 3, 1879.
May 14, 1881: "Colorado Municipal Incorporations" (HTML). State of Colorado, Department of Personnel & Administration, Colorado State Archives. 2004-12-01. Retrieved 2007-09-02. {{cite web}}: Check date values in: |date= (help)

Anyone know which is right, or if somehow both are?

Thanks! -- Ken g6 (talk) 05:13, 25 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

What was the town really named after?

I am doubting that the town of Monument was named after Monument Creek. The way I heard it, it was named after Monument Rock. (http://www.mountainzone.com/mountains/detail.asp?fid=974745) The creek was also named after the rock. Anyone have verifiable information on this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.70.110.33 (talk) 02:11, 29 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
