Canon City

City in south-central Colorado, USA, on the Arkansas River at the east end of the Royal Gorge, 55 km/34 mi northwest of Pueblo; seat of Fremont County; population (2000) 15,400. Its economy is largely based on livestock, agriculture, mining (oil, coal, marble, and other stone), and tourism.

Settled in 1859, it was an early distributing centre for local gold mines. The railroad arrived in 1874 and Canon City became a shipping hub for agricultural products, livestock, and minerals, and, later, made bricks, concrete, tools, conveyors, and ore concentrates.

The state penitentiary is on its outskirts, and the Colorado Territorial Prison Museum and Park is in the city.
