The town of Bodie, California, sprang up overnight to serve the miners during the gold rush in the late 1800s. Discovered in 1859, Bodie quickly transformed from a small mining camp into a bustling town, reaching a population of around 10,000 at its peak. It was known for its lawlessness and rough living conditions, reflecting the boom-and-bust nature of mining towns. Today, Bodie is a well-preserved ghost town, offering a glimpse into its once-thriving past.
