Welcome to Ely, Nevada.
Ely is a city located in White Pine County, Nevada. As of the 2000 census, the city had a total population of 4,041. Ely is eastern Nevada, closer to Salt Lake City than to Reno or Las Vegas. It is located where the southern end of the magnificent Steptoe Valley meets foothills of the Egan Range, at the conjunction of Highways 6, 50 and 93.

Ely offers many excellent lodging, dining and recreation options. Ely's greatest attraction to visitors, apart from comfortable lodgings, good food and magnificent natural surroundings, is the Ghost Train, the restored Nevada Northern Railway that takes passengers from the old depot in East Ely on excursions west to Ruth and northeast to McGill from Memorial Day through Labor Day.
The White Pine Public Museum at 2000 Aultman Street is the showplace for a mineral collection of considerable variety, and for unique items like the home-made cannon which once guarded the Court House in Hamilton.
Ely is relatively young as Nevada cities go, established in the 1870s as a stagecoach station and post office. Only after it was designated the White Pine County seat in 1887 did the population climb to 200. Most of the activity in the region was at the surrounding mining camps of Ward, Cherry Creek, Osceola and Taylor.
