What is the capital of the US state Nevada?

The capital of the US state of Nevada is Carson City. It was chosen as the state capital because it was deemed to be a central location between the booming silver mining communities of Virginia City and the growing city of Reno. Additionally, Carson City served as the territorial capital of Nevada before statehood, so it was a natural choice to retain its status as the capital when Nevada became a state in 1864. Today, Carson City continues to serve as the political and administrative center of the state, hosting state government offices and agencies.
