History
A short-lived gold placer mining camp existed here in the 1860s,[1] but the area was first settled by a prospector named Doby Brown in the late 1870s or early 1880s. By 1882 enough settlers had gathered to establish a post office.[2] In 1888 when a local gold rush began at nearby Miners Basin, Castleton became important as a supply town.[1] It had a general store, hotel, two saloons, and several other businesses. At its peak in 1895, the population exceeded that of Moab.[3] In fact, when Grand County was organized in 1890, Castleton vied with Moab for the chance to be county seat.[4]
The Panic of 1907 closed down the area's mines, and soon ranchers were Castleton's only residents.[5][1] By 1910 the businesses were gone, leaving only the post office, and the population had dropped to 50.[3] In 1930 there were six residents.[4] A few people stayed in the dead town for decades, but in 1967 the county commission officially vacated Castleton as an occupied town.[6]
Climate
According to the Köppen Climate Classification system, Castleton has a semi-arid climate, abbreviated "BSk" on climate maps.[7]
