Historik
1800-talet
De första europeiska amerikanerna som kom till området var John C. Fremont med flera i januari 1843.[2] Fremont döpte floden som flöt genom dalen till Carson River, som en åminnelse av Christopher "Kit" Carson, "bergsmannen", som var den vägvisare han hade hyrt för sin expedition.[3]
1900-talet
Staden växte långsamt under 1900-talet och först 1960 hade den åter nått de befolkningssiffror den hade under boomen på 1880-talet.
