The WWII Army Air Corps base is now a warped and tattered remnant, contrasting vividly with the many-splendored present. The Nevada Travel Network Description and History of Wendover by David W. Toll Wendover's luxurious casino resorts huddle at the edge of the Bonneville Salt Flats. From The Complete Nevada Traveler , the Affectionate and Intimately Detailed Guidebook to the Most Interesting State in America. Buy the Book Here ON THE WAY INTO WENDOVER Columbus was right! Almost as amazing as its shape is the earth's texture and color here, spread out in horrid immensity: surely the cruelest desert your eyes will ever see. And where the bleached and crusty sea of alkali meets a shoreline of dead brown hills, is Wendover. This remarkable settlement was established in the 1920s when Bill Smith built a gas station beside the road here. The light bulb he erected on a tall pole was only a tiny speck of light in the black desert night, but for years it served westbound motorists as a welcome beacon as they crossed the Bonneville Salt Flats. Thus Wendover developed as an outpost of civilization in the midst of isolation. Wendover boomed during the war when the Army Air Corps built a bomber training base here. The B-29 crews who dropped the atomic bombs on Nagasaki and Hiroshima trained for their missions here. Some of the base has been converted to civilian use, but most of it has simply been left to warp and tatter in the baking heat and the scouring winds. The roaring engines of the Enola Gay have faded to a distant drone, gone forever from the hot blue sky.

Nevada's first settlement was Genoa, near Carson City, settled by Mormons in 1849, then called Mormon Station. Nevada's name was adopted in 1861 when territory was established. The name was derived from the Spanish language, meaning "snow-capped". Nevada was admitted as part of Utah Territory in 1854 and then as the Territory of Nevada on March 2, 1861.

In 1859 the Comstock Lode silver strike was discovered, sparking the first major wave of emigration into the area. Carson City was named after the Carson River by city father Abraham Curry in 1860. In 1861 the Nevada Territory was formed, and Carson made its capital. Nevada was granted statehood on Oct. 31, 1864. Of the 17 counties in Nevada, only Carson City and Virginia City have remained county seats since the beginning of statehood. Your Name: E-mail Address: Plan your activities in advance. Rent gear and buy tickets for area activities and events. Carson City sits in the center of one of the most scenic and historic areas in the country, making it the perfect starting point for sightseeing. The habitat of the Eastern Sierra must have been a welcome refuge for explorers Kit Carson and John C. Fremont as they rode into Eagle Valley during their 1840s quest to map the West. To the east, long stretches of desert mark the difficult terrain settlers had to endure to get here. To the west, the Sierra Nevada mountains stretch out as a gateway to the Pacific. Kit Carson Trail - Wild West Tour During that time, Northern Nevada saw its first wave of white settlers. The Bidwell-Bartleson party is believed to have made their way through the area in 1841. Westbound traffic increased, spurred by the big boom of 1848-1849 when the discovery of California gold ignited the frontier spirit and transformed Eagle Valley.

Huge Joshua trees growing near Pahrump. Others are more mundane, such as images of stock watering or mining developments. But browsing among the 2,500 historical black and white photographs taken for the U.S. Bureau of Land Management from 1890 to 1970 can be a fascinating trip back in time. There are images of Red Rock Canyon from the 1960s. A cattle herd trailing along the Walker River in Northern Nevada in 1940. More than 100 photos of Nevada are on the agency's Web site at www.photos.blm.gov/ and became available in July. The images were digitized and made available because of public demand and can be used for any purpose free of charge, said Jeff Krauss, a public affairs specialist for the agency in Washington, D.C. They cover a wide variety of subjects, from the Oklahoma land rush to ancient Native American sites throughout the West.
