Colon. A city and free port on the Atlan-

public of Colombia, founded in 1850 by 
the Panama Railroad Company, and 
named for William H. Aspinwall, one of 
the railroad company's principal share- 
holders, and afterwards president of the 
Pacific Mail Steamship Company. The 
official name given the city by the Co- 
lombian Government is Colon, the Span- 
ish form of the patronymic of Christo- 
pher Columbus. Designated as Aspin- 
wall by the United States Government 
from the year of its foundation until 1882. 
The Colombian name was adopted in the 
latter year and has since appeared in the 
printed diplomatic and consular list of 
the Department of State as u Colon (As- 
pinwall)," "Colon" being recognized 
as the proper form, and "Aspinwall" 
added in parentheses merely for the 
purpose of distinguishing the place for 
the guidance of persons unfamiliar with 
the Colombian name.
