Delta County was created by the Colorado legislature on February 11, 1883. The county was named for the City of Delta, which gets its moniker for its location on the delta of the Uncompahgre River. Delta County's story is about the pioneers of agriculture, mining, land and water development. More than 100 years ago the Delta County area was the homeland of the Ute Indian people.
The town of Delta, strategically located at the confluence of the Uncompahgre and Gunnison Rivers, was originally set up as a trading post for Utes and the early day settlers. Fort Uncompahgre was originally built in 1828 and was recreated in 1989. The modern day fort is a reconstruction of the original trading post that was used by traders, trappers and Native Americans. Step back in time at this history museum located at the entrance to the 265-acre Confluence Park, where visitors are led through the trading post by interpreters decked out in period clothing.

Delta's 200-year old Ute Council Tree is an historic cottonwood that was designated a Colorado Landmark and is dedicated in memory of the Ute tribe's Chief Ouray and his wife, Chipeta. Interestingly, Chipeta is said to be the only Indian woman ever permitted to sit in council meetings, which were held at this site.
