Kennesaw, Georgia, had passed a similar ordinance in 1982. After Craig heard about it, he proposed the idea in a town board meeting. “It was kind of a joke to start with,” he said, sunk deep into the blue plush chair in his cluttered living room. But the reaction from other town board members was immediately positive. Nucla locals, who had been fighting with liberals for years over uranium and coal, loved the idea. a b c "P1.

Thompson, who is also the president of the local historical society, is doing what she can to celebrate the town’s more positive history. There is a Uravan reunion picnic every year to bring together old residents of the town. In 2012, the event had attracted an estimated 1,000 people. They served yellow cake in tribute to yellowcake (milled uranium oxide). In the fall, she’s planning to host an all-terrain-vehicle tour of the entire length of the socialist ditch. Many of the residents were no strangers to the boom-bust cycle of the mining industry. It’s always been boom and bust, they told me, for the past hundred years. Sharon Johannsen, Jane Thompson’s sister, had been forced to leave town during a mining slump. Her family had only been able to return many years later, but her husband was now working at the coal mine that was slated to be closed. a b Carpenter, K., 2014.

Place names in Colorado: why 700 communities were so named, 150 of Spanish or Indian origin. Denver, CO: The J. Frank Dawson Publishing Co. p.37.Naturita is a small town the sits nestled between some of the largest outdoor recreation areas (Telluride and Moab, UT) in Southwest Colorado. Naturita’s name is derived from Spanish meaning “little nature.” What began as a vibrant ranching community along the San Miguel River, Naturita later became a supply center for nearby mines during the mining boom in Colorado. Founded in 1881 Naturita was once the epicenter for uranium mining, but now boasts some of the best year-round outdoor activities you can find in the U.S. and is a great place to start your outdoor adventures. From here, it is easy to hunt, fish, Jeep, ATV/dirt bike, mountain bike, camp, hike, paddleboard, snowmobile and more! To expand their group of workers and supporters, the cooperative society established a newspaper, the Altrurian, to share news about their progress nationwide. It covered the day-to-day debates, including updates on the type of cabbages and lettuces that had been planted to feed the workers, as well as features on vegetarianism, marriage and violent labor strikes in other states.

For locals, this decision was a death knell brought on by liberals who live in big cities. Nucla residents bristle at the warnings about the risk of exposure to radiation, and roll their eyes at A-listers like Darryl Hannah, the Hollywood actress known for Splash and Kill Bill, who joined the activism against the local uranium industry. Residents of Nucla “do have this really strong attachment to their culture and their history”, Cooper said. Over the years, she’s come to believe that attachment is mixed with shame. The history of Nucla “is not taught in schools, it’s not shared ... There’s a conflict of being both ashamed and being proud of it – and I think in some ways that is what has really kept that community from discovering what’s next for them if it’s not uranium.”

By my third day in town, a woman stopped me outside of Nucla’s one restaurant, the Fifth Avenue Grill, to recommend someone for an interview. Had we met the day before? I wondered, confused. We had not. But she had heard all about me already.

When the ditch was finished, the utopians named their town Nucla after the word nucleus, a strange premonition of the town’s nuclear future. Socialism broke down only a few years later. In 1914, Nucla voted down its “single tax” system, in which the cooperative company owned all the land in town and paid one tax on it to the government, in favor of private ownership.

In 1893, a financial crisis devastated thousands of companies and caused the unemployment rate to spike above 10% for several years. Workers lost their homes and families went hungry. According to one history of the town, a group of Denver families who had become homeless and who were “united in their wish to escape tyrannical landlords” provided the impetus. In 1894, a group of 10 idealists in Denver formed the Colorado Co-Operative Company, with the goal of moving into the wilderness to create a new community – a place “where equality and service rather than greed and competition should be the basis”. Laura Denney, a Nucla resident who does private housekeeping in Telluride, said there is an “amazing difference” in lifestyles between the two towns.

Residents capitalized on the influx of people in town and made good profits off their small businesses to support the miners and mining processes.
