Ohio City, Colorado Town Hall built in 1906
Ohio City Town Hall founded in 1906 when their was a lot of Mining going on. Few mining towns had more demises and re-births than did Ohio City. Gold gave the town its start in the early 1860s and shut it down when the placer gold ran out. No one bothered to find the lode that was the source of the nuggets and Ohio City was no more. The silver boom of 1879 brought miners back to what was left of the town. A sizable vein was found and Ohio City was re-born. That lasted until 1893 when the boom collapsed and so did the town.
