White Pine was once home to one of the country's largest copper mines. It dates back to 1880 but was reinvented as a company town in 1954. The White Pine Mine was rejuvenated during the Korean War. The federal government, concerned that the country no longer mined enough copper, poured a lot of money to greatly expand White Pine's old mine. When the mine reopened in 1954, Copper Range Company, laid out the town of White Pine to resemble American suburbia. In stark contrast to the region's other mining towns, the company built ranch huses for miners along curving boulevards, a startling sight in the middle of wilderness. Before the White Pine Mine permanently shut down in 1995. It had produced 4.2 billion pounds of copper and 47 million ounces of silver.
