Golconda

Golconda a small rural community conveniently located 15 minutes east of Winnemucca, Nevada.  Rich in Nevada history, Golconda was established when discovery of copper, silver, gold, and lead brought entrepreneurs who opened mines and mills in the district. During 1898-1910, the town had a train depot, several hotels, a school, businesses, newspapers, and two brothels. Its population peaked at about six hundred in 1907-08.  After 1910 the mines played out, leaving the region as an area of ranches and farms. A few of the town's buildings from its mining heyday remain. Residents enjoy a rural community with a post office, a few businesses, and a convenient location to the schools and amenities in Winnemucca.
