"Curly Bill & Johnny Ringo's HQ: Galeyville" (18April2024) Faces of the Forgotten

THIS STORY: Galeyville was named after John H. Galey, who was an oil man from Pennsylvania. The town had a very short life, it only lasted 2 years. The post office was established January 6, 1881 and discontinued May 31, 1882. When the town died, scavengers moved in quick and took everything. The smelter was moved to Benson and many of the buildings were relocated just to the south, to the town of Paradise. Galeyville once had 500 residents, but then in short order, was no more. The town today would be all but forgotten, if not for being known for the headquarters for the likes of some infamous outlaws. This was the headquarters for Curly Bill Brocious, Johnny Ringo (Ringgold), and many other badmen who are listed below. It was a perfect hideout for stolen cattle, so they lived among the miners and made this their retreat and hideout.
