Bonanza, the first of the two Yankee Fork towns, was established by Charles Franklin in 1877. By 1881, the population of Bonanza peaked at 600 and boasted a dentist, a newspaper, a tin shop, a watchmaker, hotels, saloons, boarding houses, a post office, and other specialized businesses. Although the town had a public well and a water system, major fires in 1889 and 1897 destroyed much of Bonanza. Most merchants then relocated in Custer and after the last large mine closed in 1911, Bonanza became a ghost town.
