Abarr is an unincorporated community in Yuma County, Colorado, United States.
Abarr was originally called Brownsville, and under the latter name was platted in 1922.[1] The present name "Abarr" was adopted in 1923. The Abarr post office operated from February 26, 1923, until November 30, 1947.[2] Abarr was named after the maiden name of Ethel Hoffman, the wife of Silas Hoffman, a couple who owned a postal office there.[3] [4]
