Old mining camps...same story. When the ore was tapped out, pull the nails out of your shack and move on to the next vein...
Modern “Okies”
You make a good analogy that this modern "boom town" isn't much different than the old boom towns. I lived in Boom Town Rock Springs, Wyoming for a bit in the early 70s. I stayed in a mobile home. Instead of pulling the nails from the shack, they towed my shack to the next boom town.
Tesla, California is shown below. Yes, even then, the entrepreneur / industrialist who built the coal mine and ceramic works (John Treadwell) named it for the then-new guy named Nikola Tesla, the "Serbian-American inventor, electrical engineer, mechanical engineer, physicist, and futurist who is best known for his contributions to the design of the modern alternating current electricity supply system."
"Treadwell planned to use Tesla's invention to send electricity to Bay Area cities from a coal-burning power plant at Tesla. However, this plan never materialized for fear of competing with the new hydroelectric power plants."
