Bodie started as little mining camp after the finding the gold in 1859 by W.S. Bodey. Bodey died in the November and never got to see the rise (and fall) of the town that was named after him. After the gold discovery at Bodie, miracle happened alongside the discovery of silver in nearby Aurora and Comstock Lode. In 1879, Bodie had a growing population of almost 10,000 people after Standard Company dug large deposit of gold ore in 1876, and later it was isolated the mining camp. Bodie’s official downfall began in 1912 with the printing of the town’s final newspaper, The Bodie Miner. In 1914, mining profits were just below $7,000, and mining shares sold off. The last mine closed in 1942 by War Production Board order L-208, which stopped all non-essential gold mines production in the United States during WWII.
