Washoe Valley (Nevada)
The Washoe Valley is a geographical region in the United States covering 66 square miles (170 km2) in southern Washoe County in the state of Nevada. Located between Reno and Carson City, it is named for the Washoe people, Native Americans who lived there before the arrival of Europeans. Slide Mountain and Mount Rose overlook the valley from the west.
New Washoe City and Washoe Lake are located in the valley. The census-designated place of Washoe Valley, Nevada, corresponds closely to the area covered by New Washoe City and as of the 2010 Census had a population of 3,019. The valley's ZIP codes are 89701 and 89704, which are often associated with Carson City.
From 1857 to 1957, Theodore Winters (1823–1906) and his daughter, Neva Winters Sauer, owned and operated a 4,000-acre (1,600 ha) cattle farm and Thoroughbred stud with a quarter-mile training track. Among the ranch's famous horses was El Rio Rey, the American Champion Two-Year-Old Colt of 1889. The Winters Ranch and Bowers Mansion in the valley are today listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Winters, California, is named in honor of Theodore Winters.
