Datelined San Francisco. The town of Palisade was founded in 1868 as a station on the Central Pacific and became a starting point for other eastern Nevada mining camps. In 1874 the Eureka & Palisade R.R. began construction, causing the town to increase its importance. As the Eureka mines declined after 1885 and the E. & P. loads decreased, Palisade began its steady decline [Ref: Paher, NV Ghost Towns & Mining Camps].
