Wells has a GREAT DEAL MORE to offer than shown here - This is just the old historic part of town. Elko County, Nevada
Wells: Originally a rest stop for wagon trains, the community was settled in 1869 with the name Humboldt Wells after the river and springs that marked the beginning of the Humboldt Trail. Elko County Commissioners, on May 6, 1873, shortened the name to Wells. The town was incorporated in 1927.
