Explanation:

Gold discovery in the Dakota territory was known as the Black Hills Gold Rush. Gold was first discovered in 1874 near present day Custer, South Dakota. The amount discovered was small, however. In Deadwood Gulch in 1875, large amounts of gold were found and gold seekers flocked here by 1876.
