Eureka County is in north central Nevada. A silver strike in 1873 led to the creation of the county out of eastern Lander County. It was named for the Greek word Eureka, which means "I have found it!" The county contains 4,176 square miles of land and 4 square miles of water. The southern part of the county is crossed east-west by US Highway 50, "The Loneliest Road in America." The county seat is Eureka. |
