                                                                                                       nearby Beaver Creek. A post office was established and by 1884 there were over 1200 people in
                                                                                                       residence. As the railroad arrived in 1885, the area continued to grow and had a variety of sa-
                                                                                                       loons, hotels, specialty shops and a bank. A boomtown and cattle town, Buffalo Gap has since
                                                                                                       grown to a small rural community. Today Buffalo Gap is home to approximately 154 residents.
                                                                                                       CUSTER (COUNTY SEAT)
                                                                                                       General George A. Custer commanded an expedition to the area in search of gold in 1874. As
                                                                                                       gold was discovered, a community was quickly founded and Custer was originally known as
                                                                                                       Stonewall. By 1875 there were several thousand people panning for gold and Stonewall was
                                                                                                       renamed Custer. Within a year, news spread of gold found in Deadwood Gulch and Custer was
                                                                                                       left almost abandoned. In 1877 Custer was selected as the county seat and the area grew slow-
                                                                                                       ly. The Harney National Forest Headquarters were established in 1898 and Custer State Park
                                                                                                       was then founded in 1913. Today Custer is home to approximately 1,980 residents.

      As gold was discovered in the Black Hills, Custer County was established. Founded in 1877,
      Custer County was named after General George A. Custer. The county seat was originally cho-
      sen as Hayward, but due to an undecided election, Custer City was able to successfully battle
      for the county seat. Residents of Custer City devised a plan of staging a massacre to distract
      Hayward officials and the county seat was secured. As the Burlington Railroad arrived in 1890,
      Custer County continued to grow until the gold rush ended. Industry began to include agri-
      culture, mining, ranching and tourism. Today Custer County is home to approximately 7,924
      residents.
