1. American City Marker
American City was located west at the American Flat mining district, and by 1863 was a thriving town. In 1864 its promoters tried to secure the territorial capitol from Carson City by offering the government $50,000 to relocate there. The venture, and American City failed three years later after the legislature rejected the offer.
