The first non-Native American settlers in Nevada were primarily European explorers and fur trappers in the early 19th century, with notable figures such as John C. Frémont and Kit Carson. Following this, the mid-19th century saw an influx of immigrants during the California Gold Rush, as prospectors and settlers moved through or settled in Nevada in search of fortune. The establishment of mining camps and towns, particularly in the Comstock Lode area in the 1850s and 1860s, marked significant non-Indigenous settlement in the region.
