- Description:
- Postcard of a street in Elk City, Idaho. | 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 followed 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 falls, but Elk City still became one of the important Idaho Gold Camps.
