Como
In 1805, the first American gold discovery west of the Mississippi was on Tarryall Creek near Como. Italian coal miners named Como after Lake Como, Italy in 1879. Upon arrival of the DSP&P Railroad, Como became a center of commerce. A roadside exhibit at the south end of Como interprets the area's history. Four well-preserved buildings in Como are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. These and other places are described in the Como Walking Tour Brochure.
Visitors are encouraged to see the Como Hotel & Depot at 17 6th Street. Also, tours of the historic
Como School may be arranged at the Mountain Man Gallery; 6th & Broadway. (719-836-1910)
