Deserted today, Millers sprang up as a mining boomtown after the Tonopah boom began. HistoryMillers came to life as a result of the furor in Tonopah. In 1901 the Tonopah and Goldfield Railroad was constructed and by 1904 Millers was founded as a station and watering stop along the rail line. The name of the town honors Charles R. Miller, a director of the railroad who was also once the Governor of Delaware. Miller also worked as vice president of the Tonopah Mining Company and played a key role in bringing that company's 100-stamp cyanide mill built in Millers in 1906. In 1907 the railroad company constructed repair shops in Millers and another large mill went up. By 1910 Millers had a post office, a business district and a population of 274. A year later, in 1911, the railroad shops and mill had moved and the town began a slow decline. By 1941, Millers had 28 inhabitants.[2] When the railroad went under in 1947 the town of Millers followed suit and became a ghost town.[3] References1. ^{{GNIS|856083|name=Millers}} {{Esmeralda County, Nevada}}2. ^{{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=32}} 3. ^{{cite web| title = Miller's, Nevada Historical Marker 101| url = http://dcnr.nv.gov/markers/mark_101.htm| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20060929050156/http://dcnr.nv.gov/markers/mark_101.htm| archive-date = 29 Sep 2006| publisher = Nevada Division of Water Planning, Nevada Historical Markers Index.}} 4 : Ghost towns in Esmeralda County, Nevada|Mining communities in Nevada|Populated places established in 1904|Ghost towns in Nevada |
