About Durango, Colorado
Durango is a city of 19,071 people and the seat of La Plata County, in the Animas Valley. Ute people lived here first. The Denver and Rio Grande Railroad organized the town between September 1880 and April 1881, while its San Juan Extension pushed from Alamosa toward Silverton and the mines of the San Juan district. The railroad set its yards beside the Animas River, two miles south of the older settlement of Animas City.
Durango got its own post office on November 19, 1880, and was incorporated on April 27, 1881. William Jackson Palmer, the railroad's president, and partners such as William Bell formed the Durango Trust to sell lots and lay out a Main Street and numbered avenues, much as Palmer had planned Colorado Springs. Lot sales soared once the Silverton Branch was finished, and by 1885 the business district held seven hotels and restaurants, eleven saloons and two bakeries.
- Named for Durango, MexicoFormer Colorado governor Alexander C. Hunt, a friend of Palmer, chose the name. He had made a scouting trip to Mexico for Palmer and came home with a good opinion of the city of Durango. Today Durango, Mexico, is one of the town's two sister cities, along with Durango, Spain.
- Rails, ore and a smelterThe railroads hauled produce and ore in and out of southwestern Colorado, and together with the Durango Smelter they carried the town's economy. The Depression and the years after World War II cut into that trade. The Rio Grande Southern lost its mail contract in 1951 and soon shut down, and the D&RGW dropped its San Juan Express passenger train to Alamosa.
- The Silverton train since 1981The scenery on the Silverton Branch had already made it a tourist draw, and Hollywood came to La Plata County for a time. When freight ended in 1968, the tracks to Chama and Farmington were torn up, but the Silverton line kept running. In 1981 it changed hands, and the new owners ran it as the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad. The D&RGW's Locomotive No. 315 joined the National Register in 2008.
- Racing the train since 1972The Iron Horse Bicycle Classic began in 1972. Each year riders from around the world pedal the 61-mile road race from Durango to Silverton, trying to beat the narrow gauge train there.
- Snowdown every winterDurango's midwinter festival, Snowdown, runs for five days of contests, costumes and a Parade of Lights. Since 1983 every year's festival has had a theme of its own.
