Rockland, Nevada

Rockland is a ghost town in Lyon County, Nevada, in the United States.

The town that grew up around the mine was named Rockland, probably for the rocky cliffs that surrounded the area.

[1] Gold was discovered in Rockland in 1868, shortly after discoveries were made at Pine Grove three miles to the northwest.

A furious miner because of the situation set fire to the mill and was convicted of arson and was sent to the state prison in Carson City.

In the early 1900s, new miner activities took place in Rockland and the post office once more opened.
