It is named for Montezuma, the Emperor of the Aztecs. It was incorporated in 1881. At 10,200 feet in elevation, it is among the few (perhaps just four) incorporated towns or cities in the United States at an elevation higher than 10,000 feet. Saints John, originally called Coleyville and later Saint John, was found about 1863-64. It was about a mile from the town of Montezuma. It was the site of one of the first silver discoveries in Colorado. After the silver mine closed in 1928, it became a ghost town, with people moving to Montezuma. Although no longer a town, it still has several inhabitants. ===================================================================================================================================================================== CENSUS YEAR: 1870 STATE: CO COUNTY: Summit TOWNS: Montezuma & Saints John MICROFILM #: M593-94 ENUMERATOR: H.
