History
Delta was built as a trading post for the Ute people and early settlers. Fort Uncompahgre was built in 1828.
The Delta, Colorado, post office opened on January 5, 1882, and the Town of Delta was incorporated on October 24, 1882. The town was named because of its location on the delta where the Uncompahgre River flows into the Gunnison River.
