Tarryall City, Jefferson Territory
Tarryall is a ghost town in northwest Park County, Colorado, United States. It is on upper Tarryall Creek northwest of Como, Colorado. It was once the county seat of Park County, but is now completely deserted. History The town was founded in 1859 during the Colorado Gold Rush after the discovery of placer gold in Tarryall Creek.

Most newly arriving miners found that all available land for mining along the Tarryall Creek had been claimed by earlier arrivals, and much resentment ensued. It was thought that the earlier miners had claimed much more land than a man could reasonably work, and latecomers called Tarryall "Grab All". Another mining town, founded not far away on the Middle Fork of the South Platte River, was named Fairplay as a dig at Tarryall. A US post office opened in Tarryall on 4 January 1860. The town briefly served as the county ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
