Silver mining in Colorado. Silver mining in Colorado has taken place since the 1860s. In the past, Colorado called itself the Silver state. (Nevada also calls itself the Silver state. Idaho, however, actually produces the most silver in the US.)
Colorado is nicknamed the Centennial State because it entered the union in 1876, 100 years after the signing of the Declaration of Independence. This nickname is a reference to the quantities of silver that have been mined in Colorado. Leadville became one of the world's greatest mining camps in 1878.
