Floriston

Floriston is best known in California’s Sierra Nevada for its position along the Truckee River. This small unincorporated community lies in a narrow river corridor near the Nevada state line, where Interstate 80 and the transcontinental railroad route also pass through the mountains. The Truckee River runs east from Lake Tahoe toward Nevada’s Pyramid Lake, shaping a route long used for transport across the range. Floriston developed around railroad and lumber activity, reflecting the working history of this high-country corridor.
