Shakespeare Ghost Town is the remains of a pioneer southwestern town. From a small settlement on the stage and emigrant trail to California it grew in 1870 with a silver strike and the diamonds swindle to a town of considerable size, around 3,000 people under the name of Ralston City.
In 1879 other mine promoters changed the name of the town to Shakespeare in the Bard's name and under this name it prospered as a mining camp until the 1893 depression.
