Welcome to Charleston ...

So far, we found very little information about Charleston. The little that we've found leads us believe that the community is historic.<1>

We've added Charleston to our Gazetteer with the hope that we can develop more information. We would especially like to find the location of Charleston - knowing its coordinates, we can explore things like its relationship to neighboring communities, nearby cemeteries, etc. If you can help us with Charleston, please Contact Us.

While we don't have the exact location of Charleston , we believe that it would have been located within present day Nye County<2>.

Charleston was founded in 1876.

Time Zone: The area where Charleston was located is in the Pacific Time Zone (PST/PDT) and observes daylight saving time

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 Charleston, please let us know so that we can improve our accuracy.
