Welcome to Alhambra ...
So far, we found very little information about Alhambra. The little that we've found leads us believe that the community is historic.<1>
We've added Alhambra to our Gazetteer with the hope that we can develop more information. We would especially like to find the location of Alhambra - knowing its coordinates, we can explore things like its relationship to neighboring communities, nearby cemeteries, etc. If you can help us with Alhambra, please Contact Us.
While we don't have the exact location of Alhambra , we believe that it would have been located within present day White Pine County<2>.
While we don't have a date for the founding of Alhambra, you might get a feel for it by knowing that during our research the earliest mention that we found (so far) was on a map dated 1883.

Footnotes ...
| <1> | We use the term 'Historic' broadly and it generally means that the community no longer exists. However, it can also mean that the community might still exist, but was significantly larger or had a more 'official' existence in the past than it does now. Unfortunately our sources of data have proven to be unreliable. If you can provide us with more specific information about Alhambra, please let us know so that we can improve our accuracy. |
