The town population was 339 at the 2010 census.[8] Dinosaur has been noted for its unusual place name.[9] The town of Dinosaur was originally known as Baxter Springs owned by Art and Fanny Baxter. It was renamed Artesia for its valued water supply when a town was platted to accommodate the oil boom in the 1940s. The current name was adopted in 1966, to capitalize on the town's proximity to Dinosaur National Monument.[10] Dinosaur National Monument headquarters is located just east of the town on U.S. Highway 40.
