Jacobsville[3] is a ghost town located in Lander County, Nevada, six miles west[4] of Austin, on the east bank of Reese River, 0.7 mi N of US 50.[3] Jacobsville was also known as Jacobs Spring, Jacobsville Station, Reese River and Reese River Station.[3]

Mail station

The station possibly began as a mail station operated by George Chorpenning's 1859 mail posts near the Reese River.[5] The station was burned by Indians in 1860 and partially completed adobe structure was present on October 13 of that year when it was visited by Richard Francis Burton.[6]

Pony Express station

Reese River Station was a Pony Express station during the 18 months of its operation (April 3, 1860, to October 1861).[2]

The ruins of the adobe Pony Express station were present northwest of Jacobsville in the early 1980s.[7]

Later history

In 1861, Mark Twain traveled through the area and in "Roughing It" he wrote, "On the eighteenth day we encountered the eastward-bound telegraph-constructors at Reese River station and sent a message to his Excellency Gov. Nye at Carson City (distant one hundred and fifty-six miles)."

On May 2, 1862, a former Pony Express rider named William M. Talcott discovered rich silver ore in Pony Canyon while cutting wood for Jacobs Station on the old Pony Express route and a maintenance point on the overland telegraph line. The result was a silver rush known as the Reese River excitement.[2][8]

Jacobsville was the provisional Lander County seat from December 1862 to September 1863.[9] A courthouse was built in Jacobsville, completed in August 1863, and moved to Austin in September.[4]

Myron Angel wrote that "[In 1863, Jacobsville] had a population of three or four hundred; also contained two hotels, three stores, post-office, telegraph office, Court House and fifty residences."[4]

The Jacobsville post office was in operation from March 1863 to April 1864.[10]

By the late 1870s or early 1880s there was only a single farm house at the site.[4]
