History
The Ansel Hall Ruin, also known as the Cahone Ruin, was a prehistoric North San Juan pueblo from the 1000–1499 AD period which has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1997. The town of Cahone was established about 1912. The town was named by Bert Ballenger, later the town's first postmaster, for a nearby canyon named El Cajón in Spanish, meaning little box. The Cahone Post Office opened on May 21, 1916.
