Idaho Springs, founded 1859, is the site of the first significant discovery of the Colorado Gold Rush. Mining was largely responsible for the creation and growth of Idaho Springs, and today the city continues to preserve and celebrate its rich heritage. In 2005, the City of Idaho Springs and the Historical Society of Idaho Springs entered into a unique collaborative agreement to oversee and maintain 13 historic sites owned by the City. The responsibility is vested in the Historic Sites and Facilities Committee made up of five volunteer preservation-minded citizens appointed by the City Council. https://www.colorado.gov/pacific/idahosprings
