Tungsten is a ghost town in Boulder County, in the U.S. state of Colorado.

[2] The former townsite is north of Middle Boulder Creek.

A post office called Tungsten was established in 1916, and remained in operation until 1950.

[4] Facts–such as the population, precise location, and descriptions of the town–are disputed as one frequently quoted book on the subject, Colorado Ghost Towns (1959), is inconsistent with contemporary news reports on the town.
