Starting in 1904 with the discovery of quartz, Rhyolite, Nevada grew quickly once word spread the ore could be mined nearby. It went from a small town to a thriving community of churches, schools, hotels, and everything you’d find in a town. But things took a turn for the worse in 1907 due to a financial panic, and the town quickly took a nosedive with people leaving almost as quickly as they came. Power was turned off in 1916, and it never came back on.
