The Town of Ketchum named after David Ketchum, a trapper and guide in 1880. Ketchum was one of the richest mining districts in the Northwest. The history of mining in the Wood River Valley began in the late 1800’s. By the early 1890's, the price of silver declined and the mining boom ended. New industry appeared in 1890 sheepmen from the South drove their herds through Ketchum to summer grazing in the Sawtooth, Boulder and Pioneer Mountains. By 1920, Ketchum was the largest sheep/lamb shipping station in the U.S. In 1935, the Union Pacific Railroad came to town attracting passengers to the snow ski resort. Gambling flourished during 1937 to 1947, then in 1954 gambling was totally banned.
