Durango is a house rule municipality that is the county chair and the most populous municipality of La Plata County, Colorado, United States. The city population was 19,071 at the 2020 United States Census. Durango is the home of Fort Lewis College.
The town was organized from September 1880 to April 1881 by the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad (D&RG, later known as the Denver and Rio Grande Western railroad) as portion of their efforts to accomplish Silverton, Colorado, and relief the San Juan mining district, the target of their “San Juan Extension” built from Alamosa Colorado. The D&RG chose a site in the Animas Valley close to the Animas River close what’s now the Downtown Durango Historic Business District for its railroad facilities taking into account a brief and maybe perfunctory intercession with the other instigation in the area known as Animas City, two miles to the north. The city was named by ex-Colorado Governor Alexander C. Hunt, a buddy of D&RG President William Jackson Palmer, after Durango, Mexico, based on his complimentary impression of that city resulting from a scouting vacation undertaken on behalf of Palmer.
Palmer among further D&RG associates such as William Bell started a auxiliary company known as the Durango Trust to sell home and aspire a Main Street, 2nd, and 3rd Avenue, and so on to organize the town, taking inspiration from how Palmer founded the city of Colorado Springs. Sales from the Durango Trust skyrocketed by the realization of the D&RG’s Silverton Branch, and by 1885, Durango’s concern district had seven hotels and restaurants, eleven saloons, dancehalls and stores, two bakeries and blacksmith shops, and a variety of further businesses, also boosting the town of Silverton’s population to 2,000 at the time.
The D&RG(W) and the Rio Grande Southern Railroad were valuable resources to many places including Durango previously the major creation of the automobile, helping transport goods such as build and mineral traffic in and out of the Southwestern Colorado area, and along with other businesses such as the Durango Smelter, immensely supporting the town’s economy. However, the Great Depression and aftermath of World War II harm the area’s railroad industry. The Rio Grande Southern at a loose end its covenant to transport mail in 1951, and soon thereafter suspended operations. The D&RGW also finished their San Juan Express passenger minister to from Durango to Alamosa. However, the natural scenery along their Silverton Branch had been endorsed as a major tourist attraction. In turn, the D&RGW introduced the major tourism industry into the Durango area, transporting visitors going on to Silverton and back and attracting Hollywood into La Plata County for a time. Once the D&RGW ended happening losing its freight traffic in 1968, the tracks from Durango east to Chama, New Mexico, and south to Farmington, New Mexico were removed, but the Silverton Branch remained in operation until 1981 afterward it was sold and became the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad.
