Lamar, Colorado
--- (Wikipedia)
"The city was named after Confederate slaveholder Lucius Quintus Cincinnatus Lamar II during the period that
he was Secretary of the Interior in the futile hope that the then town would be named as the land office.
Lamar was founded on May 24, 1886 by Issac Holmes and was was named after Lucius Lamar.
At the time Lamar was the Secretary of the Interior, but previously he had written the Mississippi Ordinance of Secession,
served the Confederacy as an officer and a diplomat, owned slaves, and vigorously opposed African-American voting rights.
The first town elections were held in December, and C. M. Morrison became the town's first mayor.
In 1889 Prowers Country was established, and Lamar was elected to house the county's government.
Throughout its history, Lamar has suffered from fires and floods.
The town was also greatly affected by the Dust Bowl, and as such participated in projects led by the
Civil Works Administration, Federal Emergency Relief Administration, and the Works Progress Administration.
Lamar receives intercity passenger rail service at the Lamar Amtrak Station via Amtrak's Southwest Chief,
which runs between Chicago and Los Angeles.
The northern site of the Pierre Auger Observatory of ultra-high energy cosmic rays is planned to be built near Lamar."
