Eureka
County
Hello, and welcome to our web site. My name is Julie, and I am a junior
at Downers Grove North.
I am a U.S. History student in Downers Grove Il, a west suburb of Chicago.
I write for my school paper, I participate in snowball, and I am also helping
to start a new program called Campus Life. I really like deep
thoughts and quotes. So I going to leave this quote on this site, because
it is one of my favorite ones, " Failure is life's only true success, for
without it, no one could realize all they have accomplished." Words to
live by. =) If you continue to read my web site, you will have
the chance to learn about Eureka Nevada. A small yet colorful county that
very few people have had the pleasure to hear about. Thanks for visiting
our site, and I hope you enjoy it!
COUNTY INFORMATION
Eureka County, is now rather small containing
only one high school, and two grade schools. The population
has decreased significantly since most of the valuable natural resources
have been diminished.
HISTORY
In 1867, when a miner stuck gold, and indirectly gave Eureka
County a name. Eureka County Nevada is located on highway 50.
Eureka was blessed with a mild winter, and a warm summer, making it the
perfect area for miners.
GEOLOGY
Imagine, sliver
and gold as far as the eye can see. Well, maybe not as far as the eye
can see. When settlers eventually moved out West, they found what will
become some of the most valuable natural resources that existed. This is
what the people of Eureka ending up making a living off of.
POLITICS
Politics in Nevada are much like politics from all over the place.
Most of the information I found was related to the senators, and house
members. Please click to get the information.
