Springdale, Nevada

Springdale lies in Nye County, along the Amargosa River at a crossroad of U.S. Route 95 between Las Vegas and Reno.

When the first Europeans arrived in the late 1800s, six ranches were built along the Bonanza Trail, making use of the valley's fertile soil.

A fifty-ton mill was used to process ores from the surrounding mines, a Gilds Mall, a hotel, a livery stable provided employment to many workers, who were served by 14 illicit prostitutes in the increasingly attractive red light area.

[2] Due to the increasing popularity of private cars, U.S. Route 95 was built, along which a Union Oil gas station, one or two repair shops and a junkyard offered their services to motorists.

Springdale was just outside of the Air Force's military ranges, where bomber pilots were trained for their service in World War II.
