Lonely Planet review for Historic Gold Mills

Aruba's name is derived from the red gold (oro ruba) that was discovered in the centre of the island in the early 19th century. The subsequent gold rush saw the development of mines at Bushiribana on Aruba's northern coast and a gold mill in Balashi on the southwestern shore; both of which can still be visited today.
