Veteran, Nevada
Veteran is a ghost town in the state of Nevada. Located just west of the current town of Ruth, Veteran was the site of a tent city and mining town between 1906 and 1914, though the current site is abandoned.
Once copper ore was discovered in the vicinity of Veteran in 1906, a company town for the Cumberland-Ely Copper Company was constructed in a matter of months.〔(Veteran ), Ghosttowns.com〕 A rail line was completed into Veteran in 1907, which served as the western terminus for the Nevada Northern Railway.〔David F. Myrick. ''Railroads of Nevada and Eastern California, Volume 1: the Northern Roads''. University of Nevada Press, 2007, pp. 125-131.〕 At its peak around 1910, the town held over 100 inhabitants. Due to a crash in ore prices in 1913, Veteran's buildings were relocated to Ruth the following year and the town was disbanded. Open-pit mining continued in this area through at least the 1950s, and today the former townsite is excavated earth.
