Thank you to everyone who participated! If you guessed New York & Montana, you were correct. When mine promoter and financier Colonel William Boyce Thompson created the company to handle his larger private acquisitions, he named it Newmont in honor of the assets he created in New York and his love for his home state of Montana.

Newmont has a rich legacy spanning most of the 20th century, celebrating its official birthday in 1921 (over 100 years ago!). Our history is linked to many key industrial milestones of the 1900s, but do you know where the company name “Newmont” originates? #Newmont #GoldMining #CopperMining #NewmontHistory
