The
Town of Gardnerville was founded in 1879
by Lawrence Gilman of Genoa when he moved
the Kent House from
the Genoa area to a 7-acre tract of land
on the East Fork of the Carson River. Gilman
had purchased
the land from a homesteader, John M. Gardner,
in whose honor he named the new town.
Today,
Gardnerville is a thriving community
in the heart
of the beautiful Carson Valley. Its location
is ideal for both the nature lover and
the more suburban
at heart: The splendor of Lake Tahoe
is just a short drive to the west and
Reno
is less than an
hour north.
Gardnerville's
weather is pleasant throughout its distinctly
different four seasons. Warm summer days
with cool nights
are balanced by the crisp chill of winter
with an occasional light snowfall. Spring
and fall provide
tastes of each in perfect transition.
Northern
Nevada has a healthy economy and the
Carson Valley is no exception. Housing
is plentiful
and there
are various communities within the area
for all income levels.
