According to the NRHP nomination, about spelling: The spelling of Lodore or Ladore has resulted from the different references made by local newspapers. The correct spelling is Lodore as given to it by John Wesley Powell in remembrance of the poem "The Gates of Lodore". Newspapers have so long misspelled the name that some still misspell it as Ladore.
