About Colorado City

Colorado City got its start back in 1880 when the railroad met the Colorado River, quickly booming into a lively frontier hub for West Texas cattle ranches. The days of packed saloons and dusty open ranges have long quieted down, but the town still carries that rugged, welcoming character. Today, it serves as a relaxed Mitchell County community where you'll find wide-open spaces, a slower pace of living, and deep local roots.
