## History

On 27 February 1883, the Colorado General Assembly renamed Ouray County as Uncompahgre County. It was named after the Uncompahgre Ute people, a band of Native American tribe Ute. Three days later on 2 March 1883, the General Assembly changed its mind and changed the name of Uncompahgre County back to Ouray County.
