Discover Montrose
Montrose was incorporated on May 2, 1882, and was named by its founders, Oliver D. "Pappy" Loutzenhizer and Joseph Selig, for the Marquis of Montrose, hero of Sir Walter Scott's novel A Legend of Montrose. The Denver and Rio Grande Railroad, building west toward Grand Junction, reached Montrose later in 1882, and the town became an important regional shipping center, with a branch line serving the mineral-rich San Juan Mountains to the south.
More about Montrose
In 1909 the federal government completed the Gunnison Tunnel east of town, bringing irrigation water from the Gunnison River in the Black Canyon to the Uncompahgre Valley, and Montrose became an agricultural hub. The Uncompahgre Project is one of the oldest projects of the Bureau of Reclamation. The city lies at the south end of the arid Uncompahgre Valley on the Uncompahgre River, with Grand Mesa to the north, Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park to the east, the San Juan Mountains to the south and the Uncompahgre Plateau to the west, and the valley can be farmed only with water from the tunnel and Ridgway Reservoir.
