In the mid-19th century, particularly around 1850, much of what is now Nevada was still predominantly inhabited by various Native American tribes, including the Paiute, Shoshone, and Washoe. However, significant changes began with the westward expansion of settlers, particularly during and after the California Gold Rush in 1849. By the mid-1850s, the influx of settlers and miners drastically altered the demographic and territorial landscape, leading to a decline in Native American control.
