Uvada Nevada History

The word “Uvada” is a portmanteau for Utah and Nevada, which is when you blend two words into one. There was also a resident is White Pine County with the name Uvada too… coincidence?

The Uvada Ranch is a few miles north of “the populated area,” which is closer to the Nevada and Utah state line.
