Deadwood HistoryLink - Since its founding in 1876, Deadwood has been synonymous with the Wild West - From its early days as a lawless gold camp to its transformation into a model Victorian community and a modern center for commerce and entertainment, the town has always had a legendary reputation unparalleled in the American West - Legends were made almost overnight with a lucky shovelful of earth or turn of a card, but they were just as easily lost with a well-placed bullet - Wild Bill Hickok, frontier gunfighter, came to Deadwood with the other 76ers to seek his fortune - Thanks to a pistol shot to the back of his head, he never left - He sleeps on a hill overlooking the gulch to this day, next to the graves of Calamity Jane, Seth Bullock, Potato Creek Johnny, Preacher Smith and hundreds of Deadwoods other legendary denizens - But as the legends passed on, so did the gold - The ancient mansions, grand stone balconies and elegant brick façades began to decay - Deadwood seemed destined to turn into a ghost town, fading slowly into history like so many of its famous residents had done long ago - But it was not to be - In 1989, Deadwood became the third place in the United States (after Atlantic City and Nevada) to legalize gambling - Once again the brick-paved streets of Deadwood heard the thunder of pistol shots, the songs of slot machines and the click of chips against card tables - Once again people rushed to the sweet ponderosa-touched alpine air of Deadwood Gulch to seek their fortunes - And once again the beautiful Victorian buildings of Main Street, restored to their former glory, were filled with an air of elegance and grace - Growth and change since 1989 has been regulated and limited by Deadwoods Historic Preservation Commission, Planning Commission and City Commission.
