Proper name
The Born Lakes have been known by various names including: Boone Lakes, Born lakes, and Boorn Lakes.
[ In 1964, the United States Board on Geographical Names proposed that the name "Born Lakes" should be established as the official name. However, in 2009, James Ridenour of Spokane Valley, Washington, submitted a proposal to correct the spelling of "Born Lakes" to "Boorn Lakes", to restore the spelling that appeared on early Federal maps and to properly recognize the intended honoree — Samuel S. Boorn (ca.1840-ca.1900), who staked the first mining claim in Custer County. The name "Boorn Lakes" became official in August 2009.][ Despite this official name change, the name "Born Lakes" continues to appear on most maps of the region.][
