Yes ! Winner!
Before 1957 that was Guerrero Negro and just a tent camp at first .

Have we answered #1-5 correctly? (oops, a typo on Guerrero above)

May I add another name to the game?

#6 - "Alaska" is the old name. Sometimes used as a stand alone name, but most often with a preceding noun, as in, " ___ Alaska."
Keeping it more difficult by using only "Alaska" for now.
Back in the 1970s, it was often called Alaska and even noted on signs at the Pemex and restaurant. It seems to have fallen into disuse, and I miss the cool name. Located in Baja Calif Norte.

Note to DK, hold up for a few minutes to see how many know this one, lol.

That was fast willard!
Yes, La Rumorosa. Campo Alaska was built in the 1920s as a retreat for government officials and military post, to escape the heat of Mexicali. The 4,000' elevation at the top of the Cantú grade was much cooler, hence the "cool" name, or so the story goes.
The old stone fort has been restored and is now a museum.
