Minturn burst to life during Eagle County's mining boom in the late 1800's, and was an essential railroad division point. Located just around the corner from Vail and on the Rockies Scenic Byway, Minturn is an old and friendly town, with old time values. Families still play in their yards and shop on a traditional main street. A new town center, fire station and other development stand amid historic homes with character and modern amenities. This small town, that intends to stay small, offers the best of every season.

Unlike their neighbors at Vail and Beaver Creek, Minturn's oldest families settled at the confluence of Gore Creek and the Eagle River in the late 1800s. Some created homesteads and farmed the land, while others mined silver in the mountains high above town.

With the arrival of the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad in 1887, Minturn quickly developed into a booming crossroads for transportation and industry. By the turn of the century, a growing population of mining and railroad workers and their families raised the demands for business and services in town. In response, Minturn was incorporated on November 15, 1904.

Minturn has adapted to several major changes in the local economy, including the development of Vail and Beaver Creek ski resorts, the closing of the Gilman mine, and the abandonment of rail lines through Minturn. Despite this transformation from the Old West to the new, Minturn maintains its distinctive character, architecture and quality of life. Today, it retains its reputation as one of the friendliest towns in the Rocky Mountains.
