  • HISTORY of WASHOE COUNTY Introduction
    HISTORY OF WASHOE COUNTY Introduction Lying in the northwest portion of the State of Nevada, named for a tribe of American Indians and containing a land area in excess of 6,000 square miles, Washoe County today consists of two of the nine original counties -- Washoe and Lake (later renamed Roop) Counties -- into which the Territory of Nevada was divided by the first territorial legislature in 1861. The country, "a land of contrasts, extremes, and apparent contradictions, of mingled barrenness and fertility, beauty and desolation, aridity and storm,"1 was claimed by the Spanish Empire until 1822 when it became a part of Mexican territory resulting from Mexico's successful war of independence from Spain. Mexico ceded the area to the United States in 1848 following the Mexican War, and the ceded lands remained part of the "unorganized territory" of the United States until 1850. Spanish and Mexican constructive possession probably had little effect on the life styles of the Northern Paiutes and the Washos -- the two American Indian tribes which inhabited the area. The Northern Paiutes ranged over most of Washoe County2 save the series of valleys lying along the eastern foothills of the Sierra Nevada. These valleys were the domain of the Washos, a small, nomadic tribe whose members spoke an alien tongue and from which the name of the county is derived3. The 1840's During the 1840's Washoe County was traversed by a number of trappers and explorers, as well as several well-defined emigrant trails leading to California and Oregon. In 1843 mountain man "Old Bill" Williams4 led his trappers from the Klamath Lake region of California to Pyramid Lake and the Truckee River.

  • Summary Report Nevada Wildfire Awareness Month 2019
    Summary Report Nevada Wildfire Awareness Month 2019 Prepared by: Jamie Roice-Gomes and Alyssa Thom Living With Fire Program University of Nevada Cooperative Extension Summary Report | 3 NWAM A collaborative effort since 2005 Nevada Wildfire Awareness Month (NWAM) 2019 was held May 1–31, with events and activities taking place throughout the state. This 14th annual effort, originally held as a weeklong observance, was expanded in 2014 to the entire month of May. Utilizing grant funds from the Bureau of Land Management, Nevada Division of Forestry and U.S. Forest Service, University of Nevada Cooperative Extension’s Living With Fire Program coordinates this collaborative effort each year. Additional funding, support from corporate sponsors and in-kind contributions from program partners all helped to increase the effectiveness and impact of the many events and activities conducted. This year’s message was, “Wildfires Happen. Is your community prepared?” Members of the planning committee designed this message in an effort to educate Nevada residents that wildfire can threaten Nevadan communities and impact homes, property and human life. The key to minimizing the wildfire impact in Nevada is proactive communities that take steps to prepare. Efforts included 227 events and activities with 29,032 participants at those events, while 889,854 others were reached indirectly via newspaper articles, public service announcements, social media and other methods of communication. This report summarizes the events and activities that occurred as part of NWAM and includes a list of the 203 collaborators, 38 individuals from 22 entities on the planning committee, in-kind contributions, and a list of all events and activities by county.

  • March 2021.Pub
    www.nevadawomen.org [email protected] Volume 26, Number 1 March 2021 To provide visibility and support for the gathering and dissemination of history about the roles and contributions of all Nevada women. Never Bet Against A Woman By Patti Bernard Bowers Mansion is celebrating its 75th year of becoming one of Washoe County’s most beloved parks in 2021. NWHP will join in the celebration Friday, May 21st at 7 p.m., as a “Programs on the Porch” with our production of a reenactment of the purchase of the Bowers Mansion park site in Washoe Valley. Northern Nevada residents can’t remember a Washoe Valley without a Bowers Mansion lodged in between Carson and Reno. Many of us had our end-of-the-year school swimming picnics there as kids, went to or participated in marriages and engagements there, or just picnicked, hiked and swam there. Yet this park almost slipped from a favorite picnic area to a private venue. We have a group of ladies from the mid-1940s with the forethought to fight to preserve it for Nevada residents forever to thank. And, in their fundraising project the group involved citizens of many other Nevada towns to Bowers Mansion contribute towards this momentous Photo from Washoe County Parks, Bowers Mansion website. achievement. Purchase of Bowers is Sought This was the title of the article that appeared in the Reno Evening Gazette, January 31, 1946. The Reno Women’s Civic Club proposed, and successfully completed, one of the most important civic contributions that Northern Nevada had ever seen.

  • MSNC278 Nevada WPA Works Progress Administration
    Nevada Historical Society MSNC278 Nevada WPA Works Progress Administration The WPA, the successor agency to the Nevada Emergency Relief Administration, was organized on May 6, 1935. The WPA became one of the most high-profile of the New Deal programs, offering a wide range of federally supported relief jobs for the vast number of unemployed. Gilbert C. Ross was the Nevada Statewide Administrator of the WPA. The state headquarters were located at 303 Center Street in Reno. Many people were employed by the WPA. For example, in December 1936, some 1,600 Nevada men and women worked on more than 75 projects. The WPA was divided into several divisions. One of these was the Division of Professional and Service Projects, which provided jobs for needy women, writers, lawyers, artists, actors, clerical, and professional people. Harriett Gaddis Spann was the director. She separated her division into ten projects, such as sewing, library, hot lunch, nursery schools, housekeeping aid, the Historical Records Survey, and the Nevada State Writers Project. The Historical Records Project The Historical Records Project was inaugurated in Nevada on March 23, 1936, with the goal of locating and cataloging manuscript collections within the state. Initially, the project was federally administered, but after September 1, 1939, it came under the supervision of Jeanne Elizabeth Wier, head of the University of Nevada’s Department of History and Executive Secretary of the Nevada Historical Society, as chief consultant. The project comprised inventories of state repositories, including state and county agencies. The Historical Records Project also conducted an extensive inventory of church archives in the state.
