Fairplay Colorado News

Welcome to your Fairplay Colorado news page. The only page on the internet committed to news from the city of Fairplay and the State of Colorado.

Fairplay on CentralColorado.com  The town was named by gold prospectors who settled it in 1859 when they were driven from nearby Tarryall by miners who had staked more claims than they could work. In "Fair Play" every man would have an equal chance to stake a claim. Visitors aware of the town's gold-mining roots will find it impossible to miss the remains of the industry that mark the surrounding country side. Anyone interested in the history of the old west and western mining should visit the South Park City Museum in Fairplay.
