Date
1904
Description
Diamondfield, located 5 miles northeast of Goldfield, was settled in mid-February, 1904 as a result of the Goldfield strikes. It was founded by Diamondfield Jack" Davis, a reputed gunslinger from Idaho, who discovered gold at the site in 1903. The town soon supported a post office, saloons, a school, a church, and general merchandise stores. It reached its peak population of around 400 in 1907 and its mines shipped ore on a small scale through the 1930s."
