Granite - Ghost Town

Granite, OR

Granite is a late 1800s gold mining town that once had 5,000 people. The first gold was found on July 4, 1862, and by 1900 Granite had a drug store, two hotels, livery stable, a post office, five saloons and three stores. The gold choked off, the town faded, and today Granite and its dozen or so citizens remain as a monument to the past.
