William Greeneberry Russell, a miner from the gold fields of northern Georgia, had come to the vicinity of present-day Denver, then part of western Kansas Territory, in 1858. Russell discovered placer gold deposits in June 1859 in the valley that was soon named Russell Gulch in his honor. By the end of September, 1891 men were mining gold in the gulch, and the eponymous town was built near the head of the gulch to serve the miners. Russell Gulch is about two miles from present day Central City. State: Colorado City: Russell Gulch Date: 1864
