Hartville Iron Boom of Sunrise and Jehosaphat Claim
Hartville rises from a mining boom driven by the Sunrise and Jehosaphat claims. The town’s early history features a disputed townsite patent and a long litigation saga resolved by Interior Department action. Prominent figures include Col. A. T. Babbitt and C. A. Guernsey, with ties to Cheyenne and Denver mining interests.
