Pyramid City is a ghost town located south of Sutcliffe, Nevada.

[3] Although silver veins had been discovered as early as 1860 in the area, the Pyramid district did not attract any significant attention until the spring of 1876, when an interesting ore-specimen was noticed by a Reno physician.

The physician was assisting an ill miner when the doctor noticed the specimen on the man's table.

In March 1877, the city had two saloons, a Chinese washhouse, store, boarding house and a stage line with daily service to Reno.

By the winter of 1877, sixty miners were working the area, with only one woman living in the camp.
