Historical marker location:

Berlin, Nevada

( Marker is on Berlin Ichthyosaur State Park Road, 2 miles south of Nevada Route 844, on the right when traveling south.)

Nevada was once part of Mexico: Before it became part of the United States, Nevada was part of Mexico's Alta California territory. In fact, the state's name comes from the Spanish word for "snow-covered," a reference to the Sierra Nevada mountain range.
