Boulder City Review looking for photos of city’s early days

Boulder City is a town rich with history, and we want to incorporate older pictures that show how things looked back in the day. Since the Boulder City Review publishes every Thursday, we are looking to feature photos on our website that highlight the city’s history as a weekly feature for Throwback Thursdays, a popular social media trend.

If you have a photo you’d like to submit, please email it to hsaylor@bouldercityreview.com or sslivka@bouldercityreview.com.

Actual photos are preferred, since newspaper clippings do not reproduce well. Please include your name, a brief description of the photo, and what year it was taken.
