[Montrose, Colorado.]
LOCATED IN THE HEART of Western Colorado, in the Uncompahgre, the valley of incomparable beauty and unpronounceable name, Montrose continues to serve residents and visitors as a center for products, services, employment, and recreation, much as it did 125 years ago. The hayfields of the last century are now home sites, and the river floodplain sports fishing piers, soccer fields, picnic pavilions, and bike paths. Manufacturing and medical industries share space with agriculture and education. Montrose is the 18th fastest growing micropolitan area in the country, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
