Deadwood’s wild reputation was furthered after the murder of gunman Wild Bill Hickok. Deadwood turned around its reputation when the economy changed to mining. The entire town was later designated a National Historic Landmark in 1961. Gaming was legalized in 1989 to bring revenue and interest back to the area, and is popular today.
