Belmont, NV

USA / Nevada / Tonopah /

Belmont, Nevada is a present day ghost town located in modern day Nye County, Nevada. During the 1870s it was known as a major mining boomtown where there was gold. At one point there was a report to have a population of 15,000. Like many ghost towns this one lasted for a short time before people moved to Potts which is a modern day ghost town.

The town of Belmont was established following a silver strike in 1865. Located in northern Nye County, the tiny town features the state-protected 1874 Belmont Courthouse.
