About Monte Vista, Colorado

Monte Vista is a city of 4,247 people in Rio Grande County, and it is the largest town in the county. The site first served the Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad as a watering stop, where trains took on water. The town was laid out there in 1884, and its name is Spanish for "mountain view."

  • Main corner since 1885Fassett's Department Store first stood near the railroad depot. In 1885 it moved uptown to the corner of First Avenue and Adams Street, taking the southeast side. That corner became the main business crossroads of Monte Vista and still holds that role today. The Monte Vista Downtown Historic District, which grew up around it, joined the National Register in 1991.
  • Cranes every MarchEach March, close to 20,000 sandhill cranes fly down into the San Luis Valley around Monte Vista. They stop to rest in the valley, then go on with their journey north for the spring.
  • A Carnegie libraryMonte Vista's public library is the Carnegie Public Library. A Carnegie Library building in the city joined the National Register in 1995.
