Why this spot
1868-1910 Central Pacific and Eureka and Palisade railroad hub
Central Pacific station that became the transfer point for the Eureka and Palisade Railroad and the eastern Nevada mining camps, reaching about 600 people with hotels, saloons, a school and two churches. It slid after the Eureka mines declined in the 1880s and a 1910 flood wrecked most of the town; the post office closed in 1961.View source →
