Gold in them thar hills - Ashcroft, CO
Uploaded: September 23, 2006 20:35:35
Originally named Castle Forks, then Chloride, this town was founded aroun 1880 due to the location of placer deposites in the Castle Creek Valley. There was such a boom that three years later there were 2500 residents, two newspapers, a school, two sawmills, and 20 saloons. The town soon dwindeled as the mines played out. By 1900, there was only two people left.
