Black Hawk Colorado Townsite - Ghost town
Black Hawk was named after an Indian Chief. After the initial gold rush into Gregory gulch Black Hawk became a mill town for all the mines in the area. Many floods took their toll on this town.
Gaming came to Colorado in 1991. Numerous casinos have sprung up all along the streets of Black Hawk. I tried to focus on the older parts of the town. The town was dying a slow death. Now it is a boom town again.
