Archaeological finds place the eastern edge of the prehistoric Martis people in the Reno area. From the mid-1850s a few pioneers farmed the Truckee Meadows and served travelers on the California Trail, which followed the Truckee River toward the Sierra Nevada. The silver strike at the Comstock Lode in 1859 set off a rush, and that year Charles W. Fuller built a log toll bridge over the Truckee to link Virginia City with the trail. Two years later he sold it to Myron C. Lake, who added a grist mill, kiln and livery stable and renamed the place Lake's Crossing.
Lake deeded land to the Central Pacific Railroad in exchange for a promise to build a depot there, and he is called the founder of Reno. The town came into being on May 9, 1868, when the station was set up. The railroad's construction superintendent, Charles Crocker, named it for Major General Jesse Lee Reno, a Union officer killed at the Battle of South Mountain. Reno became the seat of an enlarged Washoe County in 1871, and the Virginia and Truckee Railroad arrived in 1872. Reno grew into the main town on the railroad between Sacramento and Salt Lake City, and as mining declined in the 20th century, power in Nevada shifted toward Reno and Las Vegas. The Reno Arch went up on Virginia Street in 1926 to advertise the 1927 Transcontinental Highways Exposition. The city kept it and offered a $100 prize for a slogan. On March 14, 1929, G.A. Burns of Sacramento won with "Reno, the Biggest Little City in the World." Nevada's easy divorce laws, completed in 1931 with a six-week residency requirement, made Reno the divorce capital of the world. Sources Wikipedia: Reno, Nevada
