However, it can also mean that the community might still exist, but was significantly larger or had a more 'official' existence in the past than it does now. Unfortunately our sources of data have proven to be unreliable. If you can provide us with more specific information about Laban, please let us know so that we can improve our accuracy. <2> If you're interested in how the shape of Texas' counties, including Colorado, have changed over time, we recommend the Atlas of Historical County Boundaries. <3> The location has been supplied by the Geographic Names Information System - which is maintained by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS).
