Welcome to Fruita - Grand Junction Realty

Welcome to Fruita, Colorado


Fruita is located in picturesque Mesa County, Colorado.  It is in the Grand Junction Metropolitan Statistical Area approximately 8 miles northwest of Grand Junction.  The estimated population as of 2005 was 6,878.

 

This city was settled in the early 1800s by farmers and was officially established in 1884.  Its fruit growing potential was soon recognized and between 1889-1890, many apples and pears were planted around this Midwest City.  Eventually the main crops from this city became winter wheat, potatoes and sugar beets.

Some folks know of Fruita because of Mike the Headless Chicken.  Mike was a rooster from Fruita who somehow managed to live for 18 months after having had his head severed.  No, really, its not a joke read this really interesting story here.  

  

Today Fruita is well-known among mountain bikers and hikers for its meandering hiking trails and thrilling single-track mountain bike trails.  Nature lovers and thrill seekers alike come from all over to enjoy the rugged, natural beauty and beautiful weather here in Fruita.
