Cornucopia is an extinct town located in Elko County, Nevada.

[1][4] The first settlers in Cornucopia arrived in 1872 and discovered several gold and silver ores in the area.

[1][2] Multiple private toll roads were created in 1873 by the new arrivals, connecting the recently established mining districts with Elko, Independence Valley, Deep Creek, and Winnemucca.

[1][5] Like many other newly established mining districts, the town struggled with the lack of stamp mills, which necessitated the mining companies to ship their ores to other locations such as Mountain City and Winnemucca.

It is also within that period that five mines were listed on the San Francisco Stock and Bond Exchange.
