Pinos Altos, once the seat of Grant County, survived conflicts with the Apache. A gold discovery in 1860 by three 49ers from California stimulated a boom that led to the establishment of this mining camp, which produced over $8,000,000 of gold, silver, copper, lead and zinc before the mines played out in the 20th century.
