The Silver Reef mining district was one of the most productive silver mining regions in the United States during the late 1800s. The arrival of Wells Fargo in 1877 provided a critical link between the mining operations and the outside world. The company's stagecoaches transported ore, supplies, and people to and from Silver Reef, helping to fuel the growth of the mining industry and the surrounding communities.
