Vulture City boomed in the late 1870's. with the discovery of gold. By the 1890's,it was on the decline but was worked until World War Two. The isolated town, which once had a population of nearly 5000,was then abandoned. In recent years, much of the remaining structures have been stabilized and lovingly restored and the old mine is being worked again....
Vulture City is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
