HistoryA post office was established at Contact in 1897, and remained in operation until 1962.[2] The name "Contact" is mining jargon.[3] As of 1915 Contact had a hotel, restaurant and its own local newspaper. Although a new townsite was laid out in 1930, by that time the community was once again in decline. A devastating 1942 fire effectively turned Contact into a near-ghost town.[4] Today one of the main presences in Contact is a Nevada Department of Transportation maintenance station.[5] JackpotLocated approximately 15 miles (13.3 km) south of Jackpot on U.S. Route 93, prior to Jackpot's founding in 1954 Contact was known as one of the closest Nevada settlements to the Idaho border. Early records of Cactus Pete's (then known as Cactus Pete's Desert Lodge) placed the property in Contact before Jackpot emerged as a separate settlement.[6] References1. ^{{cite gnis|845413|Contact, Nevada}} {{Elko County, Nevada}}{{Nevada-geo-stub}}2. ^{{GNIS|864708|name=Contact Post Office (historical)}} 3. ^{{cite book | url=http://dwgateway.library.unr.edu/keck/histtopoNV/Origin_of_Place_Names_Files/1941NevadaOriginofNames-pt1.pdf | title=Origin of Place Names: Nevada | publisher=W.P.A. | author=Federal Writers' Project | year=1941 | pages=22}} 4. ^Contact - Nevada Ghost Town 5. ^NDOT Maintenance Districts 2007 (letter).FH10 {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070115131740/http://www.nevadadot.com/traveler/maps/StateMaps/pdfs/NDOTMaintenanceDisticts.pdf |date=January 15, 2007 }} 6. ^Island Park Lodge - About 4 : Unincorporated communities in Nevada|Unincorporated communities in Elko County, Nevada|Elko, Nevada micropolitan area|Populated places established in the 1890s |
