As our county seat, Durango is a regional hub for
commerce. The county
population estimate for July, 2004, is 47,173 residents.
We are home to a
four-year college, regional medical facility, modern
commercial airport, and
a wide variety of boutiques, specialty shops, galleries
and many diverse
restaurants. We are proud of our three prominent historic
districts: Main
Avenue Historic District, East Third Avenue Historic
Residential District
and the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad
right-of-way between
Durango and Silverton, Colorado. Durango offers so
many amenities while
maintaining the western hospitality, which encourages
a casual atmosphere – even in the finest establishments.
