Origin of the name

On one website I find this passage:

Situated some 27 miles south of Lander, Wyoming lies the once prosperous gold mining camp of Atlantic City. One of several gold camps that were outgrowths of nearby South Pass City, prospectors discovered gold near Rock Creek in the summer of 1868. The mineral-rich quartz vein, they called the Atlantic Ledge due to its location on the east side of the Continental Divide, was several feet thick and thousands of feet long. Word quickly spread and within no time, the area was flooded with miners. To accommodate these many prospectors, three men by the names of Collins, Thompson, and Tozier soon platted the town, sold lots, and Atlantic City was born.

The site seems to be pretty much self-published, though, so it may not qualify as a reliable source. JamesMLane t c 12:14, 24 June 2021 (UTC)
