Vail celebrates 50 years as incorporated town

The town of Vail is celebrating 50 years of incorporation.

The Vail Daily reports that four years after the ski resort was established the few property owners in the area voted to incorporate as a municipality in 1966.

To mark the occasion the town celebrated with a birthday cake in Donovan Park on Tuesday and a number of other events. Vail’s 13 mayors were honored with the unveiling of a new centerpiece listing their names and terms and nearly 90 past and present town employees were honored for working 20 or more years.
