Spokane is a ghost town located in Custer County, South Dakota, United States. Founded in 1890, it was a mining camp in the Black Hills until its abandonment in the mid-20th century.

Naming

Spokane was named after Spokane, Washington, by a local silver mine.[3]

History

Spokane was originally intended to be a gold mining town,[4] but the Spokane Mine also produced silver, lead,[4] beryl, copper, mica, hematite, graphite, and zinc. Both the town and mine were founded in 1890.[5] 1927 was one of the town's best years, when the town's profits totaled $144,742. The town turned this money into a school, and several new miners entered the area.[4]

The mine soon began to fail again, and it closed in 1940. By this decade, the town was already largely abandoned. In the 1950s, a few companies unsuccessfully tried to reopen the mine. The mine's buildings eventually burned down, and others that were deemed unsafe were destroyed by the U.S. Forest Service. A watchman remained in the town until the mid-1980s, and after that, the town was officially abandoned.[4]

Geography

Spokane was located in the Black Hills in Custer County, 16 miles (26 km) east of Custer.[1] The former townsite sits near the three-way junction between Iron Mountain Road, County Road 330, and U.S. Route 16A. Only a few buildings remain, including the barn, watchman's house, school, and remnants of the mine.[5]
