The town of Red River began in earnest in the 1870s, when miners were drawn in by gold strikes in the area. By 1895, Red River was a booming mining camp and had a population estimated at 3,000. The mines shut down a few years later and the population waned, but the town lived on, and by the 1930s the remaining residents turned to tourism to sustain the town.
