On May 6, 1859, John H. Gregory located, staked, and pre-empted the first mining claims in what was to become known as the "Richest Square Mile on Earth."
This spot, marked by the Gregory Monument, is near the city limits of Central City and Black Hawk. The area was originally called Gregory's Diggings, but very soon became known as Mountain City.
News of the strike reached Denver by May 17th. First publication of this was in the May 28, 1859 issue of the Rocky Mountain News. As of May 23rd, there were a total of 14 claims in the gulch.
In the June 11, 1859 issue of the Rocky Mountain News the following item appeared:
"When we entered the diggings on the 20th of May, there were about twenty men in that vicinity, only two quartz leads had been opened and but three claims on one of those and two on the other. In two weeks from that time more than 3,000 men were at work, at least thirty leads satisfactorily prospected, and several hundred claims opened and profitably worked."
By the middle of July 1859, between 20,000 and 30,000 people were living in and around Gregory Gulch.
From 1859 through 1866, Central City was the most important town in Colorado Territory. Cenral City became the county seat when Gilpin County was organized in 1861. The Territorial legislature granted a City Charter to the City of Central in March 1864. This was 12 years before Colorado achieved statehood in 1876.
There are two popular stories about how Central City was named. One story involves William N. Byers, founder of the Rocky Mountain News. In June 1859, he camped where the Golden Rose Inn is now located. He suggested that a town be laid out in that vicinity. Since it was about half way between Nevada City (Nevadaville) and Mountain City he said it should be called "Central City."
Another story is that a miner's supply store was in the same area and the sign over the entrance was "Central City Store." The surrounding area then became known as Central City. One way or another, Central City, the cradle of Colorado, was born. It's official name: The City of Central.
The first newspaper published in the mountains was the Rocky Mountain Gold Reporter and Mountain City Herald. In its first issue, dated August 13, 1859, it contained the following article regarding Mountain City:
"Although not three months old, it contains already some 300 buildings substantially erected, with a population of between 2,800 and 3,000, nearly all of whom are miners. Yet the arts and trades are well represented, we have about 25 stores, 2 jewelry shops, 3 tailor shops, blacksmiths, shoemakers, painters, etc."
On September 29, the first snow fell and most of the miners returned to lower elevations. However, a census taken in late October revealed that nearly 2,300 men were still in the mountain areas of Black Hawk, Central City, Nevadaville, and Russell Gulch.

Central City, Colorado & Casinos Central City is more preserved than Black Hawk. It is quite refreshing if you like a break from the crowds. Central City is home to the Dostal Alley Casino & Brewpub which serves excellent micro-brew beers! or have a gourmet coffee at Mountain Mud Coffee & Gifts... there is also a wonderful Candy Store and Santa Fe Central South Western gift shop! Annie Oakleys provides a convience store for the locals and a place to get movies and food! (Central City Colorado History)
But it wasn't always like this... Central City Colorado was the first town to open casinos in Colorado. Gamblers lined up outside the Historic Teller House Casino for blocks to get in... For those who saw the rise and fall of Central City it is bittersweet. Once in the lime light, Black Hawk has taken things back. Central City is near ghost town status, again!
Personally I like Central City and Central City Casinos better than any of the other towns. There are 5 open casinos. The huge Fortune Valley Hotel & Casino for the high roller, poker player, and blackjack hound. They also have 1000's of slot machines. It is the mom-and-pop casinos I like the best though. Personal service, uncrowded bars, locals, and the feeling of authenticity. Welcome back to the old west. Poker, Blackjack, Slots abound throughout Dostal Alley, Harveys, Doc Holiday, Famous Bonanza Casino & Easy Street Casino. Join us for Central City's Summerfest, held annually! Also a popular attraction is the world famous Central City Opera House. The Central City Opera House information can be found on their website.
