• Celebrating 100 Years of Highway 80 (obrag.org) — Colorado City once helped promote Highway 80 to cross-country travelers, serving as the highway association’s central division headquarters beginning in 1949. As the route marks its centennial, that connection recalls an era when motorists drove through town centers and roadside businesses depended on their stops.
