Ghost Towns of Nevada - Part 2- Ione, Nevada --Ghost Town Nevada

Somewhere in the middle of nowhere Nevada is an old mining town called Ione - "The Town That Refused To Die". In this second installment of our Ghost Towns of Nevada series, we explore the old town of Ione, Nevada. It came to existence in 1863 after silver was discovered in the Shoshone Range. It was also the first home of the Nye County seat - although that was short-lived.

The town currently still boasts a few residents, although the population is very sparse and nothing like it's highest population of 600. Some references state that there are still around 40 people living there. When we visited, it did not seem like that many people lived there, but who knows. We did not disturb anything that looked occupied.

Ione, NV is located in close proximity to the Berlin-Ichthyosaur State Park, so if you're going to visit Ione, you better visit the State Park too! Also near here is the old town Grantsville.
