Despite its name, Giltedge was not a very successful town. The low ore content of its mines didn’t attract too many people but just enough to call it a town. Its most prosperous time was around the turn of the century. Not many of the town’s original buildings remain in a locale that today presents a stark and lonely atmosphere to the visitor.
