Шаблон:Use mdy dates Шаблон:Infobox settlement Bowen is an extinct town located in Las Animas County, Colorado, United States.

History

The 1911 Colorado Business Directory described the town as "Coal mining town and station", population 200, on the Colorado and Southern Railway.[1]

On 7 August 1902 an explosion of dust ignited by giant powder at the Bowen Mine killed 13 people.[2] The precise location of the town site is unknown to the GNIS,[3] but newspaper articles reporting the 1902 Bowen Mine Explosion place the town "about a quarter of a mile below the mine",[4][5] near Trinidad.

A post office named Aylmer, Colorado opened on March 23, 1900. The name was changed to Bowen, Colorado on September 18, 1906, and it remained open until January 15, 1929.[6] The community had the name of Thomas F. Bowen, a state legislator.[7]
