History

Nye County was created in 1864 and named in honor of James W. Nye, Governor of Nevada Territory and later United States Senator from Nevada. The first County seat was Ione in 1864, followed by Belmont in 1867, and lastly by Tonopah in 1905. There is currently popular talk of moving the county seat south to Pahrump, and/or splitting off the southern portion of the county, but neither of these ideas appears to have sufficient support at the county or state government level. 1864 (MDCCCLXIV) was a leap year starting on Friday (see link for calendar) of the Gregorian calendar or a leap year starting on Sunday of the 12-day-slower Julian calendar. ...
