Sloan

Sloan is a mining town north of Goodsprings along I-15. It provides limestone for use in cement in the massive amounts of construction taking place inside the Free Economic Zone of the Mojave, especially New Vegas. Founded in 1912 as a Limestone mine town, it was abandoned after the apocalypse, and remained so until the 2260s. Around this time when the New California Republic entered the area, they resettled Sloan with willing miners, attempting to gain the Limestone nearby. Little work was ever done under NCR administration though, as when the workers attempted to start up the quarry, Deathclaws entered the area, and the NCR Army did not have the resources to clear them out. 
When the Mojave gained full independence, the Securitron Army and Mojave Rangers cleared the quarry gradually. By the time it was clear, many miners opted to stay in Sloan, rather than return to the dysfunctional NCR. By 2300 Sloan was extracting Limestone in enormous quantities, and had a growing population to match.
