The path of least resistance and a life of convenience have long been called safe and comfortable. So, it should come as no surprise that when silver ore was discovered 100 miles outside of Austin, residents of the new mining camp were not thrilled with the idea of a long trek to Lander County for county meetings. Thus, in 1873, Eureka County was created, named for the Greek term, meaning, “I have found it.” With the conclusion of the mining boom, many silver and gold mines were left barren. This was decimating for the majority of Nevada towns whose existence was sustained through the mining industry. When the influx of people into Eureka ceased, the only residents who stayed were those who had already made enough money to live comfortably and those too poor to relocate elsewhere. The locals left behind had no interest in big city life and established a culture that still resonates today. The county remains as friendly a place to call home as it did during the height of the mining boom. Because horses and livestock fare well in the dry climate,ranching is among the most popular pastimes and occupations for residents of Eureka County. The landscape of the area features multiple federally protected forests, parks and waterways, similar to much of Nevada. The Spring Mountains are a popular sightseeing experience, and include the Toiyabe National Forest preservation, the largest national forest in the continental United States.
