Who's Ray - What does the name of your town mean?

Fort Collins. After a fort that was named for a Col. William Collins. It was pretty lame as far as "cowboys and indians" mythos goes -- I think there was only one small skirmish in the area. But the Overland stage route went through here, so there were bandits and stuff. Originally, Laporte, which is a tiny town north of here, was the population center of the area, but it lost the title.
