Par vietu

A working frontier hub where military payrolls and mountain tourism shape everyday commerce.

Miners established the settlement as a supply depot during the regional gold rush, transforming a camp beside the creek into a commercial freight stop. The modern economy depends heavily on public administration and defense, anchored by Ellsworth Air Force Base and regional medical networks. Local manufacturing focuses on specialized goods, including regional gold jewelry, ammunition, and commercial Portland cement.
