COMMENTS:
Agate, zip code 80101, is a semi-ghost town about 15 miles from Limon. It's located just off Interstate 70 at exit 340. The population of the zip code was 364 in 2000, with a very few of these poeple living in the old town itself. Most buildings are abandoned. REMAINS: Many abandoned homes and businesses |
| The town of Gebhard was founded in 1876, but changed its name to Agate in 1882. The old town itself is almost empty, but new homes are being built nearby. Submitted by: Diddley Squat |
