Chevron Gas Station in Ghost Town of Nelson, Nevada

Located in southern end of Nevada, in El Dorado Canyon in Clark County, Nevada.

 

The area known as Nelson was originally called Eldorado in 1775, by the original discoveries of gold in the area that is now Eldorado Canyon. The town was the site of one of the first major gold strikes in Nevada and one of the biggest mining booms in state history. Gold and silver were discovered here around 1859. The rush to the canyon began in 1861.

The community called Nelson was named for Charles Nelson, a camp leader.
