Carson City

Built around the Mormon Station trading post established in 1850, Carson City grew into Nevada’s modern state capital. It occupies Eagle Valley on the eastern side of the Sierra Nevada, with the Carson Range rising immediately to the west and high desert stretching eastward. The Nevada State Capitol, completed in 1870, remains the city’s civic centre. Carson City also preserves the former Carson City Mint, opened that year as a branch of the U.S. Mint and now home to the Nevada State Museum. Its compact core brings together government institutions, museums and routes into the mountains.
