History

Copper Mountain was originally named "Wheeler" for a local judge and developer. The Wheeler, Colorado, post office operated from April 1, 1880, until May 14, 1894. The Town of Wheeler incorporated as a statutory town, but was declared abandoned in 2005.

The Copper Mountain Ski Resort opened in 1972, and wished to change the former town's name. The naming question was settled by a decision from the Board on Geographic Names, which ruled in favor of "Copper Mountain" in 1977. The Copper Mountain, Colorado, post office opened on September 8, 1977, but the Frisco, Colorado, post office (ZIP code 80443) now serves the area.

Geography
