Reno, Nevada, was named after Major General Jesse Lee Reno, a Union officer who died during the Civil War at the Battle of South Mountain in 1862. The city was established in 1868 and was named to honor his contributions and sacrifice. Reno's strategic location along the railroad helped it grow into a significant city in the region.
