Return to Index History & History Related Items Sparks history: Sparks had a unique beginning. The parent of the town was the Southern Pacific Railway Company. In 1902, the Southern Pacific took over for the Central Pacific across Northern Nevada and they began by making a new route to save time and distance. Wadsworth was bypassed in the new route but here is where the Southern Pacific changed things up. They offered to give a deed to a city lot to everyone in Wadsworth and then they would pack up every house in town and move it to the new town. The lots were given out by a drawing and each recipient had to pay only $1.00 for their lot. Thus began the town of Sparks, Nevada. The city was first known as East Reno, and also, for a time, as New Wadsworth and Harriman. In 1904, it was renamed officially as Sparks to honor the governor at that time, John Sparks. The city was incorporated in 1905 and the Governor hosted a big barbecue for the town at his nearby farm. Due to its location so close to Reno, it is often referred to as Reno-Sparks. Here is a history page for Sparks. The incorporation date of Sparks: March 15, 1905 Return to Index Attractions Sparks attractions: Best in the West Nugget Rib Cook-off held each year in late summer.
