Nigel has a history that dates back as far as the late 19th century when gold was discovered in this region. The name Nigel came up officially after Sir Walter Scott's novel called The Fortunes of Nigel in 1909. At first, it was just a mining town but soon enough transformed into a major industrial centre, particularly famous for gold and coal mining. In time, the town has changed its economy diversifying while keeping these industrial roots thus creating its own particular character.
