Deadwood started in 1876. \t•\t1874 – Gold was confirmed in the Black Hills after Lt. Col. George Custer’s expedition. \t•\tLate 1875–early 1876 – Prospectors rushed in and set up an illegal mining camp in a gulch filled with dead trees. \t•\tSpring–Summer 1876 – The camp officially became known as Deadwood, rapidly growing into a booming frontier town during the Black Hills Gold Rush. So, while gold rumors began earlier, Deadwood truly began as a town in 1876. #sightseeing #roadtrip #history #b
