Colorado's Lulu City rose on silver in the 1880s before fading into a ghost town

Lulu City, in Colorado, grew into a boomtown during the 1880s on the back of silver mining. Its growth drew prospectors and settlers hoping to profit from the region's mineral wealth. Over time, the town's fortunes declined and its population dispersed. Lulu City eventually became a ghost town, now remembered as a relic of the state's silver-era history.
