- This mining camp was established in 1905, one of several such camps that appeared suddenly when gold was discovered in the Kantishna Hills. Most of the camps were abandoned a short time later, but this one was nearest the producing creeks. It was also referred to in the early days as "Eureka," named for the stream. A post office named "Kantishna" was established in 1905 near the mouth of the Kantishna River.
