Grand Valley fruit boom lures settlers to Colorado
In the Grand River valley on Colorado’s Western Slope thousands of fruit growers profit from five to ten acre tracts. Grand Junction and Palisade are key towns near the Utah line. Investors from Iowa and Denver buy orchards, boosted by irrigation and new High Line ditch surveys. Five to ten acres can sustain a family, and cooperation among growers yields steady markets and favorable carload shipments.
