High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Uravan was a town in western Montrose County, Colorado, United States, now abandoned as a ghost town and Superfund site. The town was a company town established by U. S. Vanadium Corporation in 1936 to extract the rich vanadium ore in the region. As a byproduct of vanadium extraction, small amounts of uranium were also produced, at the time mostly used as a yellow pigment. The name is a contraction of Uranium vanadium. The town was located approximately 90 miles south-southwest of Grand Junction along the San Miguel River.
