Fact text

  • Carson City once advertised itself as 'America's smallest capital', then merged with its county and flipped the script to 'one of America's largest.'
  • The city limits stretch all the way to the middle of Lake Tahoe, meaning Carson City technically owns a slice of a stunning alpine lake.
  • Carson City is one of only two U.S. state capitals that share a border with another state, neighbors with Trenton, New Jersey for that exclusive club.
  • The U.S. Mint operated right in Carson City from 1870 to 1893, stamping out real gold and silver coins with a special 'CC' mint mark collectors still hunt for today.
  • The valley's trading post got its 'Eagle' name from a bald eagle an early settler hunted and pinned to the wall inside, quite the decorating choice.
