San Juan County, located in the southwestern region of the great state of Colorado, was established in 1876. It is named after the San Juan River, which originates from the San Juan Mountains. This county is part of the larger San Juan Skyway Scenic Byway and is widely recognized for its natural beauty, stunning landscapes, and rich mining history.

The history of San Juan County can be traced back to the Native American tribes that once lived in the area. In the late 19th century, the region witnessed a surge of gold and silver mining, which led to significant population growth in the area. Towns such as Silverton, which also serves as the county seat, flourished during this time as they became hubs for miners and their families.

At its peak, the mining industry in San Juan County produced substantial amounts of precious metals, contributing greatly to the growth and development of the region. However, by the early 20th century, mining activities began to decline as resources depleted and mines shut down.

Today, San Juan County focuses primarily on tourism, preserving its mining history, and offering recreational activities. Visitors can explore the historic town of Silverton, take a ride on the historic Durango-Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad, or enjoy outdoor activities such as hiking, fishing, and skiing in the picturesque San Juan Mountains.

Fun Fact: San Juan County is the least populous of Colorado's 64 counties, with a population of only around 700 people, as of the 2020 United States census. It is also the eighth-smallest county by area in the state.
