It is approximately {{convert|20|mi|km|sigfig=2}} southwest of Medford,[2] at an elevation of {{convert|1683|ft|m|sigfig=4}} above sea level. The site is promoted by the local historical society as a ghost town.[3] HistoryBuncom was first settled by Chinese miners in 1851 when gold was discovered in nearby Sterling Creek and Jacksonville.[2][4] Minerals such as cinnabar, chromite, and silver were also mined.[2] A general store was built, and in 1861 J. T. Williams opened a saloon.[4] The Buncom Mining District was created in 1867.[2] Buncom post office was established in 1896. By 1918, the gold in the area was depleted, the post office was closed, and the town was abandoned. Most of the buildings were later burned down.[2][4] Only three buildings from the early 1900s remain: the post office (built in 1910), the cookhouse, and the bunkhouse.[2][3][4][5] In 1991, the Buncom Historical Society was created. The society replaced all three of the roofs of the buildings in Buncom. The society has also restored the porch of the post office and the eaves of the cookhouse.[3] ClimateThis region experiences warm (but not hot) and dry summers, with no average monthly temperatures above {{convert|71.6|F|C}}. According to the Köppen Climate Classification system, Buncom has a warm-summer Mediterranean climate, abbreviated "Csb" on climate maps.[6] See also
