History
Silverton, one of the two principal mining towns in southwestern Colorado, was an important silver-producing area. The town, established in 1874, the same year that mining began in the vicinity, was important in the economic development of the Rocky Mountain area in the late-19th century. A number of significant buildings from the mining era survive.
