Humboldt County
Humboldt County is Nevada's oldest county, created by the Utah Territorial Legislature in 1856.
It was one of Nevada's original nine counties created in 1861.

Named for the Humboldt River which John C. Fremont named after Baron Friedrich Heinrich Alexander von Humboldt, a German naturalist, traveler and statesman.

Unionville was the first county seat in 1861 until the mining boom died there.
Then it was moved to Winnemucca on the transcontinental railroad line in 1873.
