Idaho was teeming with prospectors from the late 1800s to the early 1900s, all of them infected with gold fever. The discovery of gold brought the original settlers to Idaho and prompted the establishment of the Idaho territory in 1863. According to the United States Bureau of Mines, Idaho has more gold than any other state -- and much of it is still out there.
