Why this spot
1889 railroad boom-and-bust town
Would-be railroad town founded in spring 1889 that quickly filled with saloons and brothels serving Burlington railroad workers, drawing residents from nearby Whoop-Up. It emptied by the end of that summer when the railroad chose another site.View source →
