Some locals still occasionally call it Eagle Valley, and others may remember it as Ormsby County, but by any name, Nevada’s state capital has a reputation as a great place to live or visit.
Filled with history primarily through its connections to the discovery of the Comstock Lode next door in Storey County in 1859, Carson City is known for the state Capitol, the rebuilt Virginia &Truckee Railroad and as a one-time home to American author and humorist Mark Twain.
