Goldfield,
Nevada was born in a hurry due to the discovery of Gold in
1902, and grew from 2 miners to over 20,000 people in just
6 years. Goldfield lost a significant portion of its population
by 1910, not because the gold was gone, but because the cost of
mining was to great. As the years have gone by the fabric of
Goldfield's history continues to be wrent
and torn, a little
more each year.
The Goldfield Historical Society is making a concerted effort to
try and stop the devastation of time and make our town a "Place
to Remember"
We hope you enjoy this Web Site. It is our hope
that it will show you through pictures and articles the
excitement that was and is Goldfield, Nevada.
NEWS!

Society.
