Initially called Gold Reed where gold ore was found in the Kawich Mountains during the summer of 1903, it was not until early 1905 that a camp began to form. Within weeks 400 miners had arrived and a townsite called Gold Reed was laid out. The town was name after one of the initial discoverers. The camp was later renamed Kawich after Chief Kawich, a Shoshone Indian whose name meant “mountain.” State: Nevada City: Kawich Date: 1905
