History

Carson City prides itself on preserving and celebrating its history, and is touted as the “Best Western Historical Site” by True West magazine. The explorer John C. Fremont first discovered the area, and named the river that flows through Eagle Valley after his scout, Kit Carson. The town was later named Carson City and was a primary hub of the Virginia and Truckee Railroad in the late 1800s. Carson City was always a rancher’s town, visited by Mark Twain and given a pop culture stake by the frequent mentions in the TV western “Bonanza” (set in nearby Virginia City).

Parks and Recreation

Carson City is an outdoors person’s dream, with trails for horseback riding, hiking, and biking, hunting and fishing areas, and cross-country and downhill skiing in the winter. Parks include Mills Park, Fuji Park, Long Ranch Park, Ross Gold Park, and Carson River Park. Head over to the Silver Oak or Eagle Valley Golf Course and play a few holes at two of the most beautiful courses in the area. For more information on Parks programs click here:
