Founded 122 years ago in 1902, what's left today is just a ghost town. I always marvel at the old buildings and have read up on the history I've found on several sites.
According to Wikipedia, "the community was named for deposits of gold near the original town site.[4] Gold was discovered at Goldfield in 1902, its year of inception. By 1904, the Goldfield district produced about 800 tons of ore, valued at $2,300,000, 30% of the state's production that year.[5] This remarkable production caused Goldfield to grow rapidly, and it soon became the largest town in the state with about 20,000 people."
