History

Despite the non-geologic origins of the town's name, the Carbondale area does in fact possess significant coal resources. Thus, especially since the 1980s, Carbondale has partly served as a bedroom community to Aspen. In 1981, a methane gas explosion killed 15 miners [http://www.postindependent.com/article/20060416/VALLEYNEWS/104160006] and by 1991 the mines closed down permanently. However, the coal deposits also contained significant amounts of methane gas. [http://www.postindependent.com/article/20070130/SPECIALA03/70129009&SearchID=73297239349982] Carbondale's economy was initially agriculturally based.
