With the discovery of the Comstock silver lode in nearby Virginia City in 1859, <a href="http://www.carsonproperties.com/area/CarsonCity.html"> Carson City </a> became a thriving commercial and industrial center. The Virginia & Truckee, richest of America’s short-line railroads, was established to transport the rich ore from the mines to <a href="http://www.carsonproperties.com/area/CarsonCity.html"> Carson City</a>, where a U.S. Mint was built to process the ore in Carson City.<br> Following organization of the Nevada Territory in 1861, <a href="http://www.carsonproperties.com/area/CarsonCity.html"> Carson City</a> was designated the territorial capital and the county seat.
