Round Mountain, Nevada

Round Mountain is an unincorporated town in Nye County, Nevada, United States.

[4] While the original town of Round Mountain remains near the current mining operation, the construction of Hadley served, in essence, as a relocation of the former community.

Hadley has an elementary school, a high school, a football field, a library, an indoor swimming pool, a golf course, three baseball fields, a fitness trail around the gym and baseball fields, a post office, a grocery store, two gym facilities (one with a weight room, treadmill room, and two racquetball courts), a recreational park, a gas station/laundromat, a bed & breakfast, a few churches, a fishing pond, two tennis courts, a community center, a fire department, an E.M.S, a RV park, storage units, a nail salon, horse corrals, a restaurant/bar, and many children's playgrounds.

Carvers has a gas station, a motel, storage units, a church, a rest stop, a restaurant/bar, a RV park, a roping arena, a museum, a hardware store, an auto parts store, a tire repair shop, a hair salon, and a small apartment complex.

high school offers cheerleading, drill team, FBLA, FFA, National Honor Society, Science Club, Student Council, and Academic Olympics.

[10] Gold was discovered at Round Mountain in 1905, but it was not until the following year that more substantial discoveries aroused interest in the area.

A number of major mining companies became active in the area and soon the town was given the name of Round Mountain.

Businesses included hotels, general stores, banks, restaurants, lodging houses, a school, a library, and a hospital.

The Round Mountain School was built in 1936 with two teachers and children from first through twelfth grade housed within its walls.
