Trails to
the Past of Nevada is accepting any donations of
genealogy materials that you may have such as marriage
announcements, news articles, old obituaries, births,

information, and biographies. If you have any of
these items please contact me Marie Miller the Nevada State
Administrator.
Eureka County was established in 1873 and formed
from Lander County after silver was discovered more than
100 miles east of Austin. The new mining camp's
residents complained Austin was too far to go for county
business and a new county was created. It was named for
the ancient Greek term, Eureka, meaning, "I have found
it." This term was used earlier in California and other
locations. Eureka has always been the county seat.
