Wild West Towns

 

At first, when large groups of people arrived looking for gold, people set up temporary camps. These steadily became more permanent with wooden buildings being built. Towns needed other professions, for example a blacksmith, an undertaker or a tailor, as well as someone to open a hotel or restaurant.

This is why the West attracted all sorts of people trying to make a living, not only those in search of gold. As children started arriving into a town, one lady usually became the school teacher, teaching all children together in one room.
