Mineral County is located in the great state of Colorado in the United States of America. The county was created on March 27, 1893, and was named so due to the abundance of mineral resources in the area. Situated within the Greater San Luis Valley, it covers approximately 878 square miles and has its county seat in Creede.
The area was initially inhabited by Native American tribes, particularly the Utes, who called it their seasonal hunting grounds. In the 19th century, settlers and miners began to explore the region as gold and silver discoveries attracted prospectors. The town of Creede came into existence in 1891, soon after Nicholas Creede discovered valuable silver deposits in the nearby Willow Creek Canyon. This event led to the "Last Great Colorado Silver Boom," resulting in rapid development of the county and the growth of its population.
One fun fact about Mineral County is its connection to famous American Old West characters. Legendary lawman Bat Masterson was hired as a peacekeeper in Creede during its mining boom period in 1892. Another famous individual, the notorious outlaw Robert Ford (known for killing Jesse James) also spent time in town before his demise in 1892. Today, the region is well known for its scenic beauty, outdoor recreational opportunities, and the preservation of its rich mining history.
