ELK CITY
Lumber and recreation town, with a colorful history,
is situated 60 miles east of Grangeville, Idaho.
Twenty-two prospectors from Pierce discovered the
Elk City. Mines in May 1861, and a Gold Rush fol-
lowed that summer. Permanent log buildings were
begun August 6 and within a month about 40 stores,
saloons, and cabins were ready for winter use.
Most of the miners rushed off to other new bonanzas
that fall, but Elk City still became one of the
important Idaho Gold Camps.
