Postcard of Wahmonie (Nev.), 1928

Date

1928

Description

The original Wahmonie Townsite Company was doing a brisk business selling lots in the new camp. Wahmonie came on the scene following the discovery of rich gold-silver ore near the site January 31, 1928. Within a month the population reached 200. A post office opened in April serving over 800 people and by mid-summer, the town reached its peak of over 1,000 residents. George Wingfield of Goldfield fame purchased the most promising properties and began immediate development. Unfortunately, the ore did not continue with depth and Wahmonie was abandoned within a year. Wahmonie was located 35 miles southeast of Beatty and the site lies within the Las Vegas Bombing and Gunnery range.
