Photograph of the second townsite located in the Goldfield district (Nev.), 1904

Date

1904

Description

Columbia, Nevada, 1904. There is an inscription on the back of the image: "Looking southeast from Columbia was the second townsite laid out in the Goldfield district. By 1905, Columbia supported a newspaper, school, post office, hotels, saloons, and many other businesses. By 1907, the town's population had reached 1500, but the boom was over by 1910 and the camp's population dropped to less than 500 by 1914. Due to its location near the mines and the large mill of the Goldfield Consolidated Mining Company, Columbia was able to remain in existence, but in 1918 the post office was closed and within a few years most of its residents had moved to nearby Goldfield." There is a date stamp: Christmas 1983.
