Former town in Nevada, U.S. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Grantsville is a former town in Nye County, Nevada.[2]
The camp was started in 1863[3] or 1864,[4] along with the nearby Union and North Union mining districts.[4] The camp was named by Unionists to honor Ulysses S. Grant.[4] In 1864, miners in the district successfully petitioned to have Nye County separated from Esmeralda County, Nevada.[3]
The Grantsville post office was in operation from February 1879 until October 1901.[5]
The Alexander and McMahon mines were in operation in the area in 1880 and 1881.[4] In 1877 the Alexander Co. built a 20-stamp mill, which was enlarged to 40 stamps in 1880.[3]
