Goldfield Ghost Town as we now call it was once a real gold mining boom town. It was between the Superstition Mountains and the Goldfield Mountains, the settlement of Goldfield got its start in 1892 when very rich, high grade gold ore was found in the area. A town soon sprang up and in 1893 it was established as a town.. By 1897 the town died, and in the early 1900's it was started up again only to fail. In the early 1940's the town was destroyed by fire.

Goldfield Ghost Town was recreated in the mid 1980's and since then it has continued to grow to help keep the history of Goldfield and the western boom towns alive.
