Keeler was built to compete with Swansea as a smelting operation and port for shipping silver and lead from the Cerro Gordo mines. The mines in the mountains played out before the Carson and Colorado narrow gauge railway could reach the site in 1883. Plans to extend the line to Mojave were abandoned and Keeler became the end of the line.
