About Telluride, Colorado
Telluride is a town of 2,607 people and the seat of San Miguel County. It sits at 8,750 feet in a box canyon of the western San Juan Mountains, beside the San Miguel River. John Fallon staked the first claim in Marshal Basin above the canyon in 1875, the same year prospectors found the Smuggler gold vein and placer gold in the river. Settlers followed, and in 1878 they founded a town called Columbia.
The Post Office Department refused the name Columbia, so the post office opened on July 26, 1880, under the name Telluride. Columbia became the county seat when San Miguel County was created on March 2, 1883. It was incorporated on February 10, 1887, and took the Telluride name a few months later. The name refers to tellurium ores of gold and silver, but none were ever found here. The local mines held zinc, lead, copper, silver and gold in other forms.
- Power over wires in 1891In 1891 L. L. Nunn of Telluride and George Westinghouse built an alternating current power station near town, the Ames Hydroelectric Generating Plant. Its current ran 3.5 miles to the Gold King Mine. This was the first successful long-distance transmission of industrial alternating current, four years ahead of Westinghouse's plant at Niagara Falls. Nunn later started the Telluride Association with Charles Walcott, and he founded Deep Springs College in 1917.
- Butch Cassidy's first big jobIn June 1889, before he rode with the Wild Bunch, Butch Cassidy robbed the San Miguel Valley Bank in Telluride. It was his first major recorded crime, and he got away with $24,580. He went on to win fame as a bank robber.
- Rails, strikes and unionsOtto Mears opened a toll road in 1881, letting wagons into a canyon that only pack mules could reach before. His Rio Grande Southern Railroad arrived in 1891, setting off a short boom that ended with the Panic of 1893, and its trains served Telluride until 1952. In 1896 the miners organized unions under the Western Federation of Miners, and strikes in 1899 won most of them $3 for an 8-hour day, plus $1 a day for board.
- From the Pandora mine to skiingThe Idarado Mining Company gathered the district's mines under one owner between 1939 and 1953. In 1969 Joseph T. Zoline bought land for a ski area, and he installed the first lift in 1972, so mining was no longer the town's only industry. The Pandora mine closed in 1978, the same year Ron Allred and Jim Wells became part owners of the ski area as the Telluride Company. They later added a gondola linking Telluride with Mountain Village.
- Festivals since 1974Telluride's bluegrass and film festivals both started in 1974, and Mountainfilm, a documentary festival, joined them in 1979. Through the 1970s these festivals brought hundreds of thousands of visitors to the valley, many of them seeing it for the first time.
