As for our Cotopaxi, the name must have come from the volcano, but how and why? One good possibility is that it started with a mining claim in the 1870s, named Cotopaxi by prospector Henry Thomas. Another theory says a hill south of town was named Cotopaxi first, on account of its resemblence to the volcano, and that the rest followed. We confess we donât know the back roads in that area as well as we should, but weâve never seen anything resembling a well-formed volcanic cone like Ecuadorâs Cotopaxi.
