Golconda. Golconda, a one-time Utah territory mining town and a landmark on the California Emigrant Trail, was famous for its hot springs. The Hot Springs Hotel was a swanky resort with doctors on staff.n 1868, Golconda became an ore shipping station on the new Central Pacific Railroad. Renewed mining activity in 1897 resulted in the building of the narrow gauge Golconda and Adelaide Railroad south to the Adelaide mine.
Golconda grew to 500 inhabitants by 1899, but the next year the mine and mill closed and railroad service ceased.
