is. What you have before you is this city “by the

Indian Territory in 1882 and was one of the last
cities established in Colorado. Averaging two

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.

Community Profile
A Brief History
Demographics
of
Grand Junction
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.
