Cañon City, Colorado
Cañon City is a Home Rule Municipality that is the county seat and the most populous municipality of Fremont County, Colorado, United States.〔(【引用サイトリンク】accessdate=2011-06-07 )〕 The city population was 16,400 at the 2010 United States Census. Cañon City is noted for being the location of nine state and four federal prisons and penitentiaries. Cañon City straddles the easterly flowing Arkansas River and is a popular tourist destination for sightseeing, whitewater rafting, and rock climbing.
In 1994, the United States Board on Geographic Names approved adding the tilde to the official name of Cañon City, a change from Canon City as the official name in its decisions of 1906 and 1975. It is one of the few U.S. cities to have an eñe in its name, others being La Cañada Flintridge, California; Española, New Mexico; Peñasco, New Mexico and Cañones, New Mexico.
==History==
Cañon City was laid out on January 17, 1858 during the Pikes Peak Gold Rush, but then the land was left idle. A new company "jumped the claim" to the town's site in late 1859, and it put up the first building in February 1860. This town was originally intended as a commercial center for mining in South Park and the upper Arkansas River.〔"Canon City, its rise and progress," Canon City ''Times'' 10 November 1860, p.4.〕
