Acoma is an extinct town in Lincoln County, in the U.S. state of Nevada.[1]
A variant name is Acoma Station.[2]
The name was probably transferred from the older settlement in New Mexico. The name probably means people of the white rock in the Keres language.[2]
In spring, 1904, the Utah and Eastern Copper Company started mining in the area.[2]
The first settlement at Acoma was made about 1905.[3] A post office was in operation at Acoma from 1905 until 1913.[4]
In 1941, the Acoma had a population of 15.[3]
