Contact is an unincorporated community in Elko County, Nevada, United States. It is located on a mineral-rich granite intrusion and there are many mines nearby. ==History== Contact first became known as a mining town in the 1890s, but its population dropped to 5 residents by 1905. In 1907 the United States Mining and Smelting Company established an interest in the Contact area and the city began to grow again, reaching a population of 300 by 1908. As of 1915 Contact had a hotel, restaurant and its own local newspaper. Although a new townsite was laid out in 1930, by that time the community was once again in decline. A devastating 1942 fire effectively turned Contact into a near-ghost town.〔(Contact - Nevada Ghost Town )〕 Today one of the main presences in Contact is a Nevada Department of Transportation maintenance station.〔(NDOT Maintenance Districts 2007 (letter).FH10 )〕
