Ely experienced a couple of boom periods. The first was in 1906, when copper was discovered. It went through a number of boom-and-bust cycles, and its population grew and declined accordingly. Today the railroad line in Ely has been preserved as a heritage railway by the Nevada Northern Railway.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
