  Also, to say there is a town named Chivington is to not understand Colorado. Take a look at "Chivington, Colo." There's nothing there but a few falling-down abandoned buildings, one house and a few mobile homes on a desolate stretch of Highway 96. It's not even an incorporated place. There's nothing to re-name, and no method of doing that.
