Iditarod, once a bustling town during the gold rush in the early 20th century, primarily thrived due to gold mining. It served as a crucial supply and staging point for miners and prospectors heading into the surrounding areas. As gold production declined and the mining industry waned, the town eventually fell into disrepair and became a ghost town.
