The story
from WikipediaRead it all ↗Archaeological evidence indicates that the area surrounding Silver City has supported indigenous peoples for thousands of years. A Yokuts tribe called Wukchumni established permanent campsites along the Kaweah River in the lower elevations below Silver City. During the hot summers, these people moved to the higher elevations, thus becoming the first users of the Silver City area. They traded with the Monache and the Numic peoples who came over the Sierras from the eastern side in hunting and foraging movements.

That’s true of most small towns. It doesn’t mean Silver has no history, only that no one has written up a nomination. The closest listed place is Mineral King Road Cultural Landscape in Silver City, 1.5 miles away.
