Shakespeare, New MexicoAfter a silver strike in 1869, a townsite was laid out at the old stage stop of Mexican Springs. Named Ralston City, a diamond swindle caused its collapse in 1874. The town was revivied as Shakespeare in 1879, but the depression of 1893 closed the mines and made it a ghost town.
Shakespeare Ghost Town was listed in the National Register of Historic Places on July 16, 1973.
