Real history

John Eberle built the first cabin in 1889. In the 1890s the town held 3,000 to 6,000 transient miners and was known as one of the wildest mining towns in the West. Fires struck in 1894, 1904, 1910, 1915 and 1942, and floods in 1894, 1896, 1899 and 1914. Population fell to about 200 by 1930, and the Fanny mines and mill closed in 1942. It is on the National Register as the Fannie Hill Mill and Company Town Historic District (Wikipedia).
