Ouray Area
Ouray, Colorado, was founded in about 1873 as a silver mining camp, and soon later gold was discovered in areas nearby. Incorporated as a city in 1876, the same year that Colorado became a state, Ouray has always attracted visitors, due to its scenic beauty, hot springs, and famous mines.
