Nevada City (/nɪˈveɪdə/ niv-AY-də) is an unincorporated community in Madison County, Montana, United States.

Archaeological evidence found between the Music Hall and the Nevada City Hotel indicates earlier than mining-era habitation, possibly by white hunters or trappers.

George Ives was convicted and in less than an hour he was hanged in the middle of town while nearly 2,000 residents watched (“Nevada City, Montana.”).

[2] In 1896, the Conrey Placer Mining Company was organized to dredge the gulch for the next 24 years, destroying many of Nevada City’s buildings.

[citation needed] In the 1950s, Charles Bovey, a former state senator, began buying land and property in Nevada City in order to redevelop the town as an outdoor museum.

[4] With few existing historic photographs to guide him, Bovey assembled buildings to represent an earlier era, including saloons, a school, a blacksmith, a barbershop, a post office, and cabins.

He relocated seven buildings associated with Chinese communities from around Madison County to create a sort of Chinatown in Nevada City.
