Jaggedsprings: Serious Wild West RP

Jagged Springs was first a coal mining Boom Town established in 1872, providing refuge and entertainment for the settling prospectors and workers. Boom towns were built in areas of industry connected to the trans-continental railroad also known as the golden spike railroad. This initially allowed heavy quantities of goods to be moved into the western areas from the south giving disgruntled southerners a place to go where new lives could be started opening the doors to business opportunity and prosperity. This railroad eventually grew, connecting the eastern states to the docks of Washington DC.

This opened a wide market for goods of all sorts, Jagged Springs providing coal to all areas in connection with the Golden spike. Over time however and as coal deposits began to dwindle, Jagged Springs was being left behind in terms of technological growth, as its main source of income was decreasing day by day...

Come 1895, Jagged Springs was given a new opportunity to grow as a groundbreaking discovery was made. Coal miners had begun to find small deposits of gold in the already existing mine shafts. Not only this, but beneath the Divide waterfall prospectors also found small nuggets of gold whilst panning the dirt of the rivers bed.

The discovery would escalate the mining operation which by present day has allowed the town to catch up technologically. Affluent businessmen began to appear with luxuries such as motorcars and finely tailored clothing. Jagged Springs has a bright future ahead of it, but its fate is yet to be determined.
