In the 1890s, Mancos was platted and built as a stop along the Rio Grande Southern built by Otto Mears - Colorado's southwestern railroad pathfinder, connecting Durango, Colorado to the east, and to the Telluride, Colorado mining districts to the north, via Dolores. Aramark, the concessionaire for Mesa Verde, has facilities in the town, and there is a specialty aspen sawmill and other small industrial enterprises.
