The main road that leads in and out of Montrose is [[U.S. Route 550 in Colorado|U.S. Highway 50]]. The town is located in cardinal-western Colorado, in the upper [[Uncompahgre Valley]] and is an economic, labor, and transportation waypoint for the surrounding recreation industry. Demographically, the town is majority white, with a large Hispanic population. It is also the home of a few major engineering projects, namely the [[Gunnison Tunnel]]. ==History== Montrose was incorporated on May 2, 1882 and named after [[Sir Walter Scott|Sir Walter Scott's]] novel ''[[A Legend of Montrose]]'' By Oliver D. "Pappy" Loutzenhizer and Joseph Selig. The [[Denver & Rio Grande]] [[railroad]] was built west toward [[Grand Junction, Colorado|Grand Junction]] and reached Montrose later in 1882, and the town became an important regional shipping center. A branch railroad line served the mineral-rich [[San Juan Mountains]] to the south. In 1909 the U.S. government completed construction of the [[Gunnison Tunnel]], which provided irrigation water from the [[Gunnison River]] in the [[Black Canyon of the Gunnison|Black Canyon]] to the [[Uncompahgre Valley]], helping turn Montrose into an agricultural hub. The Uncompahgre Project is one of the oldest of those in the area by the U.S. [[Bureau of Reclamation]]. The canal is also used for recreation: water rushing through the canal below the tunnel creates a [[kayak]]-surfing spot called the M-wave.<ref>Jared Seiler, [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CAQFWx8m8ic Dave Fusilli Jared Seiler and Alex Hoetz surfing the M-Wave in Montrose Colorado], [[YouTube]], 6 September 2007.</ref> However, the wave is on private property and is unsafe for inexperienced riders.<ref>{{cite news|last1=Willoughby|first1=Scott|title=The Monster of Montrose|url=http://www.denverpost.com/2008/09/15/the-monster-of-montrose/|accessdate=June 6, 2016|newspaper=Denver Post|date=September 15, 2008}}</ref> Tourist and recreation opportunities are important to the regional economy. Montrose is a gateway to the [[Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park]] to the east of town. In the winter, it is a transportation hub for [[ski]] areas of the [[San Juan Mountains]] to the south. Early in the area's history, prehistoric people lived in the vicinity and left rock art panels at the Shavano Valley Rock Art Site from 1000 BC or earlier until about AD 1881. The panels recorded cultural events and were a means of artistic expression.<ref name=":0" /> The site is listed on the [[Colorado State Register of Historic Properties]] and the [[National Register of Historic Places]].<ref name=":0">[http://oahp.historycolorado.org/programareas/register/1503/cty/mn.htm National & State Registers for Montrose County, Colorado.] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120424231018/http://oahp.historycolorado.org/programareas/register/1503/cty/mn.htm |date=2012-04-24 }} Colorado Historical Society, Office of Archaeology and Historic Preservation.

Montrose is in the south end of the Uncompahgre valley, and is built on the [[Uncompahgre River]], which runs to the north, where 60 miles further its waters will join the [[Colorado River]]. It is surrounded by, to the north, the widening Uncompagre Valley and the [[Grand Mesa]], to the east, the [[Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park]], to the south, the [[San Juan Mountains]], and to the west the [[Uncompahgre Plateau]]. The valley is arid, and is only arable due to the water from the [[Gunnison Tunnel]]. ===Climate=== Montrose features a [[semi-arid]] Continental climate zone. The town sits on high grasslands in the [[Uncompahgre Valley]] of Western Colorado. Snowfall occurs during the winter but is usually short-lived due to the high altitude and abundant sunshine. {{Weather box |location = Montrose, Colorado |single line = Y |Jan high F = 35.8 |Feb high F = 42.4 |Mar high F = 52.7 |Apr high F = 62.2 |May high F = 72.1 |Jun high F = 83.2 |Jul high F = 88.3 |Aug high F = 85.2 |Sep high F = 77.2 |Oct high F = 64.9 |Nov high F = 50.1 |Dec high F = 37.6 |year high F = 62.6 |Jan low F = 12.3 |Feb low F = 19.9 |Mar low F = 26.5 |Apr low F = 33.5 |May low F = 41.3 |Jun low F = 48.8 |Jul low F = 54.7 |Aug low F = 53.0 |Sep low F = 45.0 |Oct low F = 34.5 |Nov low F = 23.1 |Dec low F = 13.9 |year low F = 33.9 |precipitation colour = green |Jan precipitation inch = 0.62 |Feb precipitation inch = 0.49 |Mar precipitation inch = 0.65 |Apr precipitation inch = 0.87 |May precipitation inch = 0.87 |Jun precipitation inch = 0.50 |Jul precipitation inch = 0.80 |Aug precipitation inch = 1.24 |Sep precipitation inch = 1.00 |Oct precipitation inch = 1.02 |Nov precipitation inch = 0.61 |Dec precipitation inch = 0.68 |year precipitation inch = 9.35 |Jan snow inch = 6.9 |Feb snow inch = 3.7 |Mar snow inch = 3.3 |Apr snow inch = 1.5 |May snow inch = 0.2 |Jun snow inch = 0.0 |Jul snow inch = 0.0 |Aug snow inch = 0.0 |Sep snow inch = 0.0 |Oct snow inch = 0.6 |Nov snow inch = 2.8 |Dec snow inch = 6.1 |year snow inch = 25.1 |source 1 = www.wrcc.dri.edu/<ref>{{cite web|url=https://wrcc.dri.edu/cgi-bin/cliMAIN.pl?co5717|title=MONTROSE 1, COLORADO - Climate Summary|website=wrcc.dri.edu}}</ref> }} ==Demographics== As of the [[census]]<ref name="GR2">{{cite web|url=http://factfinder2.census.gov|publisher=[[United States Census Bureau]]|accessdate=2008-01-31|title=American FactFinder}}</ref> of 2000, there were 12,344 people, 5,244 households, and 3,319 families residing in the city.

The main road that leads in and out of Montrose is [[U.S. Route 550 in Colorado|U.S. Highway 50]]. The town is located in cardinal-western Colorado, in the upper [[Uncompahgre Valley]] and is an economic, labor, and transportation waypoint for the surrounding recreation industry. Demographically, the town is majority white, with a large Hispanic population. It is also the home of a few major engineering projects, namely the [[Gunnison Tunnel]]. ==History== Montrose was incorporated on May 2, 1882 and named after [[Sir Walter Scott|Sir Walter Scott's]] novel ''[[A Legend of Montrose]]'' By Oliver D. "Pappy" Loutzenhizer and Joseph Selig. The [[Denver & Rio Grande]] [[railroad]] was built west toward [[Grand Junction, Colorado|Grand Junction]] and reached Montrose later in 1882, and the town became an important regional shipping center. A branch railroad line served the mineral-rich [[San Juan Mountains]] to the south. In 1909 the U.S. government completed construction of the [[Gunnison Tunnel]], which provided irrigation water from the [[Gunnison River]] in the [[Black Canyon of the Gunnison|Black Canyon]] to the [[Uncompahgre Valley]], helping turn Montrose into an agricultural hub. The Uncompahgre Project is one of the oldest of those in the area by the U.S. [[Bureau of Reclamation]]. The canal is also used for recreation: water rushing through the canal below the tunnel creates a [[kayak]]-surfing spot called the M-wave.<ref>Jared Seiler, [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CAQFWx8m8ic Dave Fusilli Jared Seiler and Alex Hoetz surfing the M-Wave in Montrose Colorado], [[YouTube]], 6 September 2007.</ref> However, the wave is on private property and is unsafe for inexperienced riders.<ref>{{cite news|last1=Willoughby|first1=Scott|title=The Monster of Montrose|url=http://www.denverpost.com/2008/09/15/the-monster-of-montrose/|accessdate=June 6, 2016|newspaper=Denver Post|date=September 15, 2008}}</ref> Tourist and recreation opportunities are important to the regional economy. Montrose is a gateway to the [[Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park]] to the east of town. In the winter, it is a transportation hub for [[ski]] areas of the [[San Juan Mountains]] to the south. Early in the area's history, prehistoric people lived in the vicinity and left rock art panels at the Shavano Valley Rock Art Site from 1000 BC or earlier until about AD 1881. The panels recorded cultural events and were a means of artistic expression.<ref name=":0" /> The site is listed on the [[Colorado State Register of Historic Properties]] and the [[National Register of Historic Places]].<ref name=":0">[http://oahp.historycolorado.org/programareas/register/1503/cty/mn.htm National & State Registers for Montrose County, Colorado.] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120424231018/http://oahp.historycolorado.org/programareas/register/1503/cty/mn.htm |date=2012-04-24 }} Colorado Historical Society, Office of Archaeology and Historic Preservation.

Montrose is in the south end of the Uncompahgre valley, and is built on the [[Uncompahgre River]], which runs to the north, where 60 miles further its waters will join the [[Colorado River]]. It is surrounded by, to the north, the widening Uncompagre Valley and the [[Grand Mesa]], to the east, the [[Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park]], to the south, the [[San Juan Mountains]], and to the west the [[Uncompahgre Plateau]]. The valley is arid, and is only arable due to the water from the [[Gunnison Tunnel]]. ===Climate=== Montrose features a [[semi-arid]] Continental climate zone. The town sits on high grasslands in the [[Uncompahgre Valley]] of Western Colorado. Snowfall occurs during the winter but is usually short-lived due to the high altitude and abundant sunshine. {{Weather box |location = Montrose, Colorado |single line = Y |Jan high F = 35.8 |Feb high F = 42.4 |Mar high F = 52.7 |Apr high F = 62.2 |May high F = 72.1 |Jun high F = 83.2 |Jul high F = 88.3 |Aug high F = 85.2 |Sep high F = 77.2 |Oct high F = 64.9 |Nov high F = 50.1 |Dec high F = 37.6 |year high F = 62.6 |Jan low F = 12.3 |Feb low F = 19.9 |Mar low F = 26.5 |Apr low F = 33.5 |May low F = 41.3 |Jun low F = 48.8 |Jul low F = 54.7 |Aug low F = 53.0 |Sep low F = 45.0 |Oct low F = 34.5 |Nov low F = 23.1 |Dec low F = 13.9 |year low F = 33.9 |precipitation colour = green |Jan precipitation inch = 0.62 |Feb precipitation inch = 0.49 |Mar precipitation inch = 0.65 |Apr precipitation inch = 0.87 |May precipitation inch = 0.87 |Jun precipitation inch = 0.50 |Jul precipitation inch = 0.80 |Aug precipitation inch = 1.24 |Sep precipitation inch = 1.00 |Oct precipitation inch = 1.02 |Nov precipitation inch = 0.61 |Dec precipitation inch = 0.68 |year precipitation inch = 9.35 |Jan snow inch = 6.9 |Feb snow inch = 3.7 |Mar snow inch = 3.3 |Apr snow inch = 1.5 |May snow inch = 0.2 |Jun snow inch = 0.0 |Jul snow inch = 0.0 |Aug snow inch = 0.0 |Sep snow inch = 0.0 |Oct snow inch = 0.6 |Nov snow inch = 2.8 |Dec snow inch = 6.1 |year snow inch = 25.1 |source 1 = www.wrcc.dri.edu/<ref>{{cite web|url=https://wrcc.dri.edu/cgi-bin/cliMAIN.pl?co5717|title=MONTROSE 1, COLORADO - Climate Summary|website=wrcc.dri.edu}}</ref> }} ==Demographics== As of the [[census]]<ref name="GR2">{{cite web|url=http://factfinder2.census.gov|publisher=[[United States Census Bureau]]|accessdate=2008-01-31|title=American FactFinder}}</ref> of 2000, there were 12,344 people, 5,244 households, and 3,319 families residing in the city.
