[Mines of Colorado by Hollister] Nevadaville was a gold-mining town in Gilpin County, Colorado, United States. It was also known in the 1860s and 1870s as Nevada City. The post office at Nevadaville was called the Bald Mountain post office, to avoid confusion with other Nevadas and Nevadavilles. Nevadaville started in 1859, soon after John H. Gregory found the first lode gold in what is now Colorado. At the time, the townsite was in western Kansas Territory. The town grew to house the miners working the Burroughs lode and the Kansas lode. The population was predominantly Irish. The town was one of the most important mining settlements in the area. The community is now largely a ghost town, although not completely deserted. [wikipedia] The Nevada district centered around Nevada Gulch, a tributary of North Clear Creek; near Gregory Gulch SW of Central City.
