This town came into existence when two miners started a trading center to service the prospectors in the gold fields nearby. Many of the original buildings are still standing with the two-story false fronts typical of western towns in the nineteenth century. The area is still well known for its radon mines which are reputed to offer health benefits to those exposed to the radiation inside them.
