Euro-American settlement began in the early 1850s, but few people lived in the area until 1904, when the Southern Pacific Railroad moved its division point from Wadsworth and built a switchyard and maintenance shops there. In 1902 the railroad had bought a large tract of swampy land near the new yard. It gave employees clear title to a 50-by-140-foot lot for $1 and offered to pick up every house in Wadsworth and reassemble it in the new town for free. As the population grew a city was formed, first called Harriman, for E.H. Harriman, president of the Southern Pacific, and then renamed Sparks, for John Sparks, then governor of Nevada.
Sparks stayed a small railroad town until the 1950s, when Reno's growth set off a housing boom north of the tracks. In the 1970s warehouses and light industry filled the land south of the railroad. The tower of the Nugget Casino Resort, finished in 1984, gave Sparks its first and only high-rise casino. Redevelopment of the B Street business district across from the Nugget, begun in the early 1980s, took a step forward in 1996 with a movie complex and a plaza, and the area, now called Victorian Square, hosts many open-air events.
