Atlantic City was born in 1868 and died in 1878. During that ten year period as many as two thousand miners populated the town along with the usual "ladies" and card sharks. After the boom died, the town became a place for part-time prospectors and vacationers that wanted to try their hand at prospecting. That's where the Atlantic City stands today. It still has its "boardwalk" and lots of what was for the ghost town enthusiast. SUBMITTED BY: Henry Chenowith
