Town of Telluride is a charming little town with a wonderfully colorful history. The Victorian mining town founded in 1880 with its original name of Columbia, which later changed because of mix-ups the Postal Service had with Columbia, California, so the name changed to Telluride. The name Telluride comes from Tellurium an ore found with gold, or To-Hell-U-Ride, what the stagecoach drivers called it because of the rugged roads that led them here. The booming mining town is famed for having the first bank robbed by Butch Cassidy. The first alternating current power plant was designed and built here by L.L. Nunn and George Westinghouse. The town of Telluride now offers the convenience of the best dining and night life in the region combined with many recreational possibilities all within walking distance. Town has an inviting mix of residential and accommodations with a historic commercial core that is relaxed and friendly.
