Battle was an unincorporated community and coal town located in Carbon County, Wyoming, United States. The Battle community and Old Battle mining site are located around the summit of Battle Pass, at an elevation of 9,924 ft (3,025 m).[1]
The town of Battle was founded in 1898, one of the old towns in the Encampment district of Carbon County. The town had a wagon road that ran between the Ferris-Haggarty mine and the town of Encampment. A town post office ran from 1898 to 1905. The town of Battle was a resting stop on the wagon road. In 1902 a 16 mile tramway was completed, which bypassed the town. By 1905 the town became a ghost town. [3]
