  Business Name Description
Town of Telluride Used as a summer camp for centuries by Ute Indians and named by Spanish explorers in the 1700’s, the San Juan Mountains lured fortune seekers to Colorado with visions of silver and gold. By the mid-1870’s, the Sheridan Mine was the first in a string of local claims and a tent camp was established in the valley below. Originally called Columbia, the rowdy mining camp became a town in 1878, and changed its name to Telluride.
Telluride Conference Center Founded in 1878 and now a registered National Historic District, Telluride whispers to visitors of times gone by, when gunslingers and ore-laden mule trains regularly paraded down Main Street. From the historic brothels of Popcorn Alley to the location of Butch Cassidy's famous first heist, the legends of Telluride's wild and exhilarating past permeate the town like the priceless veins of gold that lured its first settlers.
