Sliver City, Idaho - a photo on Flickriver

Sliver City, Idaho

            Silver City was founded in December 1863.  In 1865, silver was found in the War Eagle Mountains overlooking town and the boom years of Silver City began.  It became the Owyhee County seat in 1866, which it held until 1935.  In the early 1940's, the town had become a ghost town and the last retail business closed in 1942.  Soon after electricity was cut off to the town and to this day it remains without electricity.  Many of the town's original buildings from the 1860's still stand and the town is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
