Return to Index History & History Related Items Cokedale history: An old coal mining town in southern Colorado, Cokedale was named for the rows of coke ovens nearby. Cokeville began as a company town, founded in 1906 by the American Smelting and Refining Company. In the early 1900's, Cokeville thrived with the mining activity with three mines and 350 ovens in operation. After WWII, the coal and coke industries diminished and the mines and ovens were closed by 1946. Many buildings were torn down, but the company allowed some people to purchase their buildings for a very low price. Many people purchased their homes and remained in the area with Cokeville incorporating in 1948. Though the population has dwindled to a small number, the town still remains strong. Cokeville was entered on the National Historic REgister in 1984.
