The US Board on Geographic Names is considering a proposal first put forward by Summit County Commissioners to change the name of the Gore Range to the Nuchu Range. A letter requesting response on the proposal was discussed by the Grand County Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) on Tuesday, with varied responses. Commissioner Rich Cimino, who serves on the newly revised Colorado advisory board for geographic names, has mentioned the issue previously and initiated discussion by asking where the letter had come from. Commissioner Kristen Manguso, who chaired the BOCC in 2020 and is the elected for the 3rd district, through which the Gore Range passes, noted that it had been sent to her.
