Carson City is the capital of the state of Nevada in the United States of America. As of the 2000 census, its population is 52,457. Carson City is now an independent city, not part of any county.
Like many towns in Nevada, Carson City was founded in the boom days of mining -- in the case of Carson City, silver mining. It was the county seat of the former (1861-1969) Ormsby County, and was named for explorer Kit Carson.
Carson City is one of only five state capitals not served by an interstate highway. Dover, Delaware; Jefferson City, Missouri; Juneau, Alaska; and Pierre, South Dakota are the other four state capitals with this distinction. This will soon change however, as Interstate 580, currently under construction, will eventually loop around the city and end near US 50 to the south.
