Eureka, Nevada is a thriving survivor of the "boom and bust" era, and proves every day that some booms, last.
Eureka was discovered in September of 1864 by a group of silver prospectors from nearby Austin. They were not disappointed as they found rock containing silver-lead ore in New York Canyon near present-day Eureka. In 1869, Major William M. McCoy and Alonzo Monroe selected this site for a settlement in what was then known as Horse Thief Canyon. The area was soon surveyed and on January 27, 1870, a Post Office was established, and the new town was officially named “Eureka.”
Eureka became one of the fastest growing and most successful boom towns of Nevada. The town is still going strong today and it shows in it's streets lined with character.
