The 1864 discovery of gold in a gulch off the Prickly Pear valley led to the founding of a camp called "Last Chance" by a group of gold prospectors, the Four Georgians. The population quickly grew to more than 200 and during the fall of the year 1846 a group of local men met to build a proper town, including the plan of streets and the election of commissioners. Eventually, the committee chose a new name, Helena. The city has an historic downtown district with street names evoking the gold rush period, like "Last Chance Gulch", the main street's name.
