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.[4] The town of Cahone was established about 1912.[1] 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.[1] The Cahone Post Office opened on May 21, 1916.[5]
