History

Originally Ely was home to a number of copper mining companies, Kennecott being the most famous. The Clock of the Long Now is to be built near Ely.

Ely is a mining town, suffering through the boom and bust cycles so common in the West. Image:Ely1906.jpg street scene 1906. It is the county seat of White Pine County, Nevada Pine County. Many companies processed the massive piles of "overburden" that had been removed from copper mines, or expanded the existing open-pit mines to extract the gold ore.
