  • 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.

Our preservation colleagues and members of the public who participated in the planning effort share credit for this plan. Their comments on the current state of historic preservation in Nevada, as well as the recommendations they provided for the future of preservation helped guide the development of our vision, goals, objectives, and strategies. These comments were vital in ensuring we develop a plan that addresses the preservation issues that are most important to citizens of the Silver State. We would like to extend our gratitude to those that participated by providing public comments. We wish to extend a special thanks to the six cities, state agencies, local governments, and organizations and their staff that hosted statewide preservation planning meetings in 2018: the City of Ely and the East Ely Railroad Depot Museum, the City of Elko and the Great Basin College, the City of Reno and the McKinley Arts & Culture Center, the Town of Tonopah and the Tonopah Convention Center, Douglas County and the Douglas County Senior Center, and the City of Las Vegas and the state employees at the 4747 W.
