Central City, located in Gilpin County, Colorado, is a historic mining town that played a significant role in Colorado's gold rush era. Founded in 1859 during the Pike's Peak Gold Rush, it was once known as the "Richest Square Mile on Earth" due to its abundant gold mines. The city's well-preserved Victorian architecture reflects its prosperous mining heritage, with many buildings dating back to the 1870s.
Today, Central City is notable for blending its historical significance with modern entertainment, featuring both preserved historic sites and gaming establishments. The city maintains several important cultural institutions, including the Central City Opera House, built in 1878, which continues to host a renowned summer opera festival. This combination of preserved history and ongoing cultural activity makes Central City a unique destination for those interested in both Western American history and the arts.
