ESTABLISHED 1871 JAMES JR. IVES, MANAGER 1911 ================================================= DELTA. County seat of Delta county. On the Denver & Rio Grande railroad at the Junction of the Paonia and Hotchkiss branch 374 miles from Denver, 21 miles west of Montrose and 51 miles east of Grand Junction. Delta is located on the Gunnison river at the mouth of the Uncompahgre and is the center of the most successful fruit raising section of the state. The Gunnison Tunnel just completed will water 150,000 acres, the majority of which is tributary to this town. Peaches, grapes, nectarines and other fruits are at their best here. The climate is mild, with little cold weather during the winter months, and while there is considerable snow it rarely remains on the ground more than a single day. Delta has grown during the past few years from a town of a few hundred people to a city of about 3,000, and is keeping pace with the development of the surrounding country. Altitude 4,500 feet.
