DENVERGRAND JUNCTION

Whether visiting or considering a move, we hope you will enjoy your stay.It is hard to put down on paper what a vibrant, vital and unique place Grand Junction is. What you have before you is this city “by the numbers.” But numbers often don’t tell the whole story. Due to early geographic isolation and settlement by self-sufficient and resourceful individuals, this community has a character that is at once independent, welcoming and entrepreneurial.Grand Junction was carved out of Ute Indian Territory in 1882 and was one of the last cities established in Colorado. Averaging two to three percent growth per year from those early days to the end of the 20th century, the community grew into a prosperous regional hub for health care, education and a variety of retail and service products. With more than two thirds of the surrounding county owned by the federal government, outdoor recreation and enjoyment is a favorite pastime of local residents during the daytime. Evenings bring a variety of entertainment venues in several commercial regions of the city, including our award-winning downtown area.

Community Profile

In the early 1800s the area was part of

the Northern Ute Reservation, although the Native Americans

were later moved west into Utah. In

September 1881, the area experienced a

landrush settlement and a townsite was staked. This town, located in the Grand Valley, was first called Ute, then

West Denver, and finally came to be known as Grand Junction,

because of its location at the confluence of the Gunnison and Colorado rivers.

By 1883, Mesa County was created from

neighboring counties and Grand Junction was named the county seat. Grand Junction began

to thrive when the main line of the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad came into the area in

1887. Soon after, major irrigation turned the Grand Valley into a

fertile agricultural area.

Today, Grand Junction is home to a number

of light manufacturing and service industries.

There are also four area hospitals, a

regional airport and a number of recreational

opportunities.
