About Ruth

Set just a few miles west of Ely, Ruth is a quiet, close-knit community with a rich history rooted in copper mining. What began as a humble tent camp in 1903 quickly grew into a bustling company town, and that blue-collar heritage is still felt today. Residents get to enjoy a peaceful, small-town setting surrounded by rugged mountain scenery, with easy access to outdoor recreation and everyday shopping down the road in Ely.
