Hecla |
An unincorporated community which has been
designated as a ghost town with very little remaining. In 1881
the Hecla Company reorganized and the town of Hecla was built a mile from Lion City.
Transportation from the mine was improved with the construction
of a four mile long narrow gauge tramway from Hecla to the mill. The town grew
from 1,500 to 1,800 people with a water works system, fire
protection, a church, a school for 200 students and other businesses.
