• Was home to the first settlement in the Upper Arkansas Valley in 1860
• Was the home of the longest continually operated gold placers in Colorado and possibly in the nation by 1902, and placer mining for gold is still taking place in 2007.
• Was the site of the first sawmill in the Upper Arkansas Valley in about 1866 and it was powered by water from Twin Lakes via Lower Lake Creek through the Mill Ditch.
