A small town called Porter was established there in 1891 when the Rio Grande Southern Railway was built. The post office was there from 1891 to 1908. It was named after John Porter who had a hand in establishing the Town of Durango and the coal industry in the SW Colorado region among other impressive achievements. Porter had a couple of hundred residents and included the post office, a hotel, stores, the Porter Coal Mine, a railroad section house and a saloon! The historic images are included in the listing photos. The Animas Museum provided some history and early images of this area from back in the day when the Rio Grande Southern Railway had a train stop along the Wildcat Canyon in Porter, CO.
