Description

The town is named for the Amargosa River which flows through the valley from its origination in Nevada to its terminus in Death Valley, California. Amargosa means "bitter water" in Spanish. Like most desert rivers, the 200 mile (320 km) long Amargosa flows only when rare rainfalls flood the desert washes, except for a 20 mile (32 km) segment near Shoshone, California, where the river flows perennially. The name "Amargosa Valley" is used locally, although the broad valley in which the town resides is officially labeled on USGS topographic maps as the "Amargosa Desert".

History

It is not known when the first humans settled in the Amargosa Desert. Ancient campsites have been found that date back at least 10,000 years, to the end of the last ice age. Recent examination of archaeological remains in the valley implies more extensive use by aboriginal peoples than had been previously estimated. Pottery and other artifacts have been found that date back from approximately 1000 A.D. to even earlier times. During the nineteenth century, two groups of Native Americans occupied the Amargosa Valley: the Southern Paiute and the Western Shoshone. Both were extremely adept at extracting a living from their marginal environment, subsisting on wild plant foods and supplemented by wild game.

Horse traders first opened a trail through the Amargosa Valley in 1830. Later, during the gold rush, miners crossed the valley in pursuit of routes to southern California and of the gold discovered in Death Valley in 1849. The California Gold Rush (1848–1855) began on January 24, 1848, when gold was discovered at Sutters Mill. ...

The first community in the Amargosa Desert was founded circa 1905 as the result of extensive borax mining in the area. In 1907, two railroads started to service the borax, gold, silver, lead and other important mineral mining and processing operations in the surrounding region. The Tonopah & Tidewater line ran between Ludlow, California and Gold Center (just south of present-day Beatty), Nevada. The competing Las Vegas & Tonopah line linked Las Vegas to Goldfield, Nevada. As mining yields and economics changed, the railroads became less viable. The Las Vegas & Tonopah line was abandoned in 1918, and the Tonopah & Tidewater was shut down on June 14, 1940. By mid-1942, all of the T&T's rails and scrap iron had been salvaged by the U.S. Department of War in support of World War II. Only sections of the graded railroad bed remain; the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) constructs and maintains hiking trails along some portions of the old railroad bed in California.
