Major William Ormsby was one of the earliest residents of Eagle Valley. He showed confidence in Abe Curry's vision for the future of Carson City by not only buying land right downtown, but by building and operating Carson's first hotel, the Ormsby House.
Major Ormsby was killed in May 1860 during the Paiute Indian War.
