| Ryan was a mining town; its original name was Coconino, but was changed to Ryan after the main owner From the extensive ruins, the mine was quite productive, but only for a short time. It had a post office, but it was in operation for less than six months (in 1902), an indication that the copper available for extraction was probably not as large as originally thought.
