ELY NEVADA, established in the 1870s as a stagecoach station and post office, is now the White Pine County seat. Copper mining was the impetus for the development of Ely Nevada. The early 1900’s saw the advent of successful copper mining operations. Because Ely Nevada is situated at the junction of Highway 50 and U.S. 93, it has grown to become the largest city in eastern Nevada. Ely Nevada is the hub for outdoor recreation and historic sites.
