Colorado City (/ˌkɒləˈreɪdə/ KOL-ə-RAY-də)[6] is a city in and the county seatofMitchell County, Texas, United States.[7] Its population was 4,146 at the 2010 census.
Colorado City originated as a ranger camp in 1877. It grew into a cattlemen's center and has been called "the Mother City of West Texas". The town acquired a railway station and post office in 1881 and was named the county seat. In the early 1880s it was a center for cattle shipment, with herds driven to Colorado City and loaded onto trains for shipment to the eastern markets. The population was estimated at 6,000 in 1884–1885, but dropped to 2,500 by 1890 after a drought, and dropped further with the growth of nearby San Angelo.
The first school was conducted in a dugout in 1881 and moved to a building the next year. During the late 19th and 20th century, economic activity centered successively on salt mining, then farming, then oil production. By 1910 the town had a new public school, a waterworks, and an electric plant. A city hall was built by 1926.[8]
An oil refinery began operation in 1924 and closed in 1969. Other industries included a meat-packing operation and a mobile home factory.[8]
According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 5.3 sq mi (14 km2), all land. Colorado City is situated along the Colorado River to the west and Lone Wolf Creek to the east.
According to the Köppen climate classification, Colorado City has a semiarid climate, BSk on climate maps.[9]
