[edit] Dates of Incorporation

Good morning, Buaidh.

I like this page and its companion pages "by population" and "by date of incorporation." However, something seems to have gone wrong with the dates.

I have discovered several municipalities on this list (Vail, Mount Crested Butte, Lakewood, Snowmass Village, Lone Tree) that I know were first incorporated in the late 20th century (between 1966 and 1996) but that you show as being incorporated in 1905. For some reason it is 1905 in all these cases.

The incorporation dates of these municipalities can be verified on your reference #4, Municipal Incorporations, from the Colorado state archives. They are all between 1966 and 1996 inclusive.

I'm not sure whether to correct these myself, or wait for you to do something. For the moment, I'm inclined to wait. It occurs to me that this pattern may mean that there are more errors than I have found, but at the moment I am not going to search for more errors.

Cheers,

[edit] Date Corruption

Thanks for finding these corruptions Paul. I'll check the incorporation tables and fix the incorporation dates.

I found the source of the data corruption and corrected the dates of incorporation for Avon, Blue River, Bow Mar, Broomfield, Kim, La Salle, Lakewood, Larkspur, Lochbuie, Lone Tree, Mount Crested Butte, Ophir, Parker, Pritchett, Silt, Snowmass Village, and Vail.
