In the 1860s, Carson City was a station on the Pony Express and the Overland mail under both Butterfield and Wells, Fargo and Co.
In 1861, Carson City became the capital of the Nevada Territory.
It was the county seat of the former Ormsby County, 1861-1969.
In 1969 Ormsby County was merged into Carson City.
Carson City is not part of any county; therefore it an independent
city.
Named for explorer Kit Carson.
