Greenwater's Copper Boom Attracted 2,000 Before 1909 Collapse
Greenwater, California, grew to a population of 2,000 after a copper discovery in 1905. Located south of Dante’s View in Death Valley, the town thrived briefly on copper mining but collapsed by 1909 without ever turning a profit. The boom attracted many hopeful miners and settlers during its short-lived mining rush.
