Pactola, South Dakota : ウィキペディア英語版 | Pactola, South Dakota
Pactola, also known as Camp Crook, (1875–1950s) is a ghost town in Pennington County, South Dakota, United States. It was an early placer mining town and existed into the early 1950s, when it was submerged under Pactola Lake. ==Naming== The town's early name, Camp Crook, was named in honor of General George Crook, who started his headquarters in the town. Pactola wasn't used until 1878, when the miners were asked by lawyer and journalist H. N. Maguire to find a more interesting name. Pactola is derived from the ancient Greek placer mining operations on the Pactolus River, an ancient river in Lydia.〔
