The source behind the name
USGS GNIS Populated Place names in all 50 states and DC. Features in the historical extract or explicitly named historical are excluded; duplicate decision records with identical identities and coordinates are collapsed. GNIS points identify names, not legal or neighborhood boundaries, current occupancy, school attendance or a statistical population. Nearby Census places and tracts remain separately named geographies. Name completeness and currency vary; this is not a claim to include every locally used neighborhood name.

USGS description & history
A settlement called 'Gila City' rose when Jacob Snively found gold in 1858. It appeared on maps in 1875 although the gold was all gone by 1865. A house with a stable and corral were left by 1872. However, when the rairoad came through, the name Dome was given to the station and siding because it was the shipping point for the Castle Dome and other mines. A nearby post office named for Monitor became absorbed into the Dome Post Office which was established in 1890. It was tempo rarily called 'Gila' in 1904, but reverted to Dome in 1905 (A Z-T101).
