Welcome to Carsonpedia
Carsonpedia is the online encyclopedia of Carson City, Nevada, and surrounding areas. It covers the history, people, buildings, and events of Carson City, as well as surrounding communities such as the Carson Valley, The Comstock, Dayton, Mound House, and the Washoe Valley.
Carsonpedia was initially developed as part of the Carson City Sesquicentennial celebration, but it has survived well beyond that milestone. It is now entering its fifth year of serving Carson City.
