Deeth (Shoshoni language: Teai[3]) is an unincorporated community and census-designated place near the intersection of Interstate 80 and Nevada State Route 230 in Elko County, Nevada, United States.
History
[edit]When the Central Pacific started running past this site in 1869, a branch line station with telegraph was established. In 1875, a post office was established for nearby ranches and farms. The community was named after a pioneer citizen.[4][5]
As ranching and mining activity increased in the area the town grew in size. The Western Pacific began running through Deeth in 1910. At the time, the community had mercantile stores, a Mormon chapel, livery stables, hotels, saloons, a blacksmith and a population of approximately 250. Many dairies and farms were in the county and this town served as a depot to ship cattle and a trading center for local ranchers and ranchers from nearby counties.[5]
In 1915, a fire destroyed most of the town. The post office has been in operation at Deeth since 1875.[6][7] Little remains of the original community.[8]
Climate
[edit]According to the Köppen Climate Classification system, Deeth has a warm-summer humid continental climate, abbreviated "Dfb" on climate maps.
