History

Jamestown, Colo., a community on James (Jim) Creek, 13 miles northwest of Boulder, was a settlement called Elysian Park in 1865. The name changed to Jimtown, but federal officials named it Jamestown when residents applied for a post office. [Source: Phyllis Smith, A Look at Boulder (1981), p. 249].
