Durango, Colorado, was founded in 1880. It was established primarily as a railroad town to support the construction of the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad, which aimed to connect the mining regions of the San Juan Mountains with the rest of Colorado. The town quickly grew due to its strategic location and the influx of settlers and miners.
