Return to Index History & History Related Items Hawthorne history: Here is history information for Hawthorne. Hawthorne was founded in 1881 by the Carson & Colorado Railroad as a division point for their lines. They say it was the mules which chose the site. They turned them loose to graze and they found the most sheltered place to protect themselves from the freezing winds and cold. The workers followed the mules lead and established the town in the best location around the area. Hawthorne was the county seat of Esmeralda County in 1883. The previous seat had been Aurora. By 1900, the Southern Pacific had taken over the Carson & Colorado Railroad. In 1905, the railroad changed to standard gauge rails and built around the east side of Walker Lake, bypassing Hawthorne completely. In 1907, the county seat was removed from Hawthorne and placed in Goldfield. The town didn't grow greatly over the years reaching a population of just 1,861 by 1950. When Lake Denmark, New Jersey was blown up by an explosion at the naval ammunition depot there, the government wanted to find a not so populated place for their depot, plus a place where the land was not so valuable. They decided on Hawthorne. The depot helped the town through WWII, but over the years, the ammunition depot's role is diminishing. The Gulf War helped the local economy and the base, now overseen by civilians, has more munitions than ever before.
