Final answer:

Boomtowns were swiftly growing communities primarily driven by mining discoveries, which later declined or transformed into manufacturing centers.


Explanation:

Boomtowns were communities that experienced rapid growth due to factors like mining discoveries but often disappeared quickly when the resources were depleted. For example, Virginia City, Nevada, grew rapidly around the Comstock Lode but was practically abandoned later. Similarly, mining towns like Boise, Idaho, transitioned into manufacturing hubs after the mines closed.
