In 1876 Silver was discovering in a small area near the Catahoke Mountains. Hector Madison founded Coyote Falls in July of 1877. In the Spring of 1880 Dr. Zecharia Gileran founded the Coyote Falls Badger Springs Railroad.
The railroad was unique due to the fact it was a time traveling railroad. It allowed passengers back and forth through time from the 1880's to the 1950's. This brought fantastic business and tourism to Coyote Falls and Badger Springs.
