Tungstonia, Nevada, is a ghost town on the Southern flank of the Kern Mountains of Eastern White Pine County, Nevada, along Tungstonia Wash.[1][2] Tungsten was discovered here in 1910 by George Sims and C. Olsen,[3]: 202  and full-scale mining began in 1914 with the introduction of two companies from Utah: the Salt Lake Tungstonia Mines Company and the Utah-Nevada Mining and Milling company.

[3]: 202 The community that developed in support of the mining operations reached a population of about fifty in 1916, with the usual kind of business commensurate with a mining camp of this size, including "a couple of saloons and stores, a boardinghouse, and several wood-frame buildings.

"[3]: 203  The community was also briefly granted a post office, under the name Tugstonia, which served the locale from January 4 to August 3, 1917.

[3]: 203 After the Salt Lake Tungstonia Mines Company ceased operations in early 1918, the population dwindled precipitously immediately thereafter.
