t in 1851. Carson City is named for the nearby Carson River, which explorer John C. Fremont named after their 1843-44 expedition for his scout: the famous frontiersman Christopher "Kit" Carson. Pioneer Abraham Curry arrived in Eagle Valley in 1858 and soon thereafter surveyed and platted a town site.
City was selected as the state capital at the constitutional convention and has retained that honor to the present day. Following the discovery of gold and silver on the nearby Comstock Lode in 1859, Carson City became a thriving commercial center. The booming mines in Virginia City, Gold Hill and Silver City resulted in quartz reduction mills being built along the Carson River to process the ore. Lumber for mine timbers and cordwood was provided from the Sierra Nevada mountains around Lake Tahoe. The Virginia and Truckee Railroad was organized in 1868 to connect the Comstock mines with the river mills and to bring lumber and supplies back to the mines. The United States Mint in Carson City was completed in 1869; it is today the site of the Nevada State Museum. Carson City rapidly became one of Nevada's principal communities in the 19th century. Our community's vitality continues today as a center of state government. Conveniently located just 30 minutes to Reno, 20 minutes to Lake Tahoe and 20 minutes to the historic Comstock.
