Welcome to Grand 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. Recently, Grand Junction has
also become a hub for energy development in
this area of the Rocky Mountains. Natural gas,
along with coal, uranium and other minerals
are being extracted on public and private lands
throughout the Western Slope of Colorado.
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.
We hope you find this preliminary
information useful. Please feel free to contact the
resources listed in this profile for more in-depth
information. You can also contact the
Chamber, located at the corner of 4th & Grand
(phone 970-242-3214 or [email protected]).
Community Profile
A Brief History
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.
