Once called Dentville, this
picturesque mining center and trading post was founded
in 1849. An early ferry carried Argonauts on their way
to the southern mines. The rare wooden covered bridge,
reportedly designed by U. S. Grant, brother-in-law of
the Dent brothers, and the old flour mill were built there
in 1854. The town served as the county seat from 1862
to 1872.
