U.S. Route 93 is the main route to Pioche and bypasses the town center just to the east, with Nevada State Route 321 and Nevada State Route 322 providing direct access. Its elevation is {{convert|6060|ft}} above sea level. Pioche is the county seat of Lincoln County. Pioche is named after François Louis Alfred Pioche, a San Francisco financier and land speculator originally from France.[2][3] The town's population was 1,002 at the 2010 census.[4] HistoryThe first modern settlement of the area occurred in 1864 with the opening of a silver mine. The settlers abandoned the area when local Indian tribes launched a series of raids and massacres. Recolonization was launched in 1868, after the Indian raids were stopped and François Pioche bought the town in 1869. By the early 1870s, Pioche had grown larger, to become one of the most important silver-mining towns in Nevada. Because of the town's remoteness which had earlier allowed the Indian raids to occur, Pioche had a reputation for being one of the roughest towns in the Old West. Local lore says 72 men were killed in gunfights before the first natural death occurred in the camp. This legend is immortalized by the creation of Boot Hill, now a landmark in the city. ClimatePioche has a cool semi-arid climate (Köppen BSk) bordering on a humid continental climate (Dfa/Dsa) due to its high altitude and exposure to rain-bearing winds. The high elevation means summers are much cooler than in Clark County, with temperatures of {{convert|100|F|C|1|disp=or}} reached upon only one afternoon every five years, and {{convert|90|F|C|1|disp=or}} reached only upon 23.1 afternoons. The hottest month recorded was July 2005, with a mean maximum of {{convert|93.0|F|C|disp=or}}, a record hot day of {{convert|105|F|C|1}} on July 17, and nine days above the century mark from July 11 to 19. Although summers are mostly dry with mild nights, it is not unknown for “Arizona rains” to penetrate into Lincoln County during July and August, as happened in August 1945 when {{convert|5.01|in|mm|1}} of rain fell on a total of eleven “wet” days, and during August 1955 when seventeen days saw at least {{convert|0.01|in|mm|1|disp=or}} of rain. The fall season sees warm days and cold nights: the freeze-free period usually extends from May 17 to October 10, although temperatures below {{convert|0|F|C|1|disp=or}} are very rare even during winter with an average of 1.1 mornings falling this low; the coldest temperature in Pioche has been {{convert|−11|F|C|1}} on January 12, 1963. The coldest month has been January 1949 with a mean maximum of {{convert|27.7|F|C|1}}, although in a normal winter only 10.3 afternoons will not top freezing. During the winter, days are cool to cold – although even in January 7.1 afternoons top {{convert|50|F|C|disp=or}} – and nights are very cold, although snowfall is extremely erratic. During the very wet and cold spell of January and February 1993, {{convert|98|in|m|2|disp=or}} of snow fell in Pioche; however in warm dry winters like 1999/2000 almost no snow may occur. {{Weather box |location = Pioche, Nevada (1971-2000; extremes since 1939) |single line = Y |Jan record high F = 67 |Feb record high F = 72 |Mar record high F = 77 |Apr record high F = 82 |May record high F = 91 |Jun record high F = 102 |Jul record high F = 105 |Aug record high F = 99 |Sep record high F = 96 |Oct record high F = 86 |Nov record high F = 74 |Dec record high F = 68 |year record high F = 105 |Jan high F = 41.8 |Feb high F = 45.9 |Mar high F = 51.2 |Apr high F = 59.3 |May high F = 68.4 |Jun high F = 79.7 |Jul high F = 86.7 |Aug high F = 84.6 |Sep high F = 76.5 |Oct high F = 65.0 |Nov high F = 50.9 |Dec high F = 43.3 |year high F = 62.8 |Jan low F = 20.9 |Feb low F = 24.0 |Mar low F = 28.3 |Apr low F = 34.3 |May low F = 43.1 |Jun low F = 52.0 |Jul low F = 58.7 |Aug low F = 56.8 |Sep low F = 49.2 |Oct low F = 38.3 |Nov low F = 27.6 |Dec low F = 21.0 |year low F = 37.9 |Jan record low F = −11 |Feb record low F = −8 |Mar record low F = 4 |Apr record low F = 12 |May record low F = 21 |Jun record low F = 30 |Jul record low F = 43 |Aug record low F = 38 |Sep record low F = 25 |Oct record low F = 4 |Nov record low F = 2 |Dec record low F = −8 |year record low F = −11 |precipitation colour = green |Jan precipitation inch = 1.50 |Feb precipitation inch = 1.59 |Mar precipitation inch = 1.83 |Apr precipitation inch = 0.95 |May precipitation inch = 1.17 |Jun precipitation inch = 0.52 |Jul precipitation inch = 0.92 |Aug precipitation inch = 1.27 |Sep precipitation inch = 0.96 |Oct precipitation inch = 1.14 |Nov precipitation inch = 0.94 |Dec precipitation inch = 0.97 |unit precipitation days = 0.01 in |Jan precipitation days = 5.1 |Feb precipitation days = 5.3 |Mar precipitation days = 6.3 |Apr precipitation days = 3.9 |May precipitation days = 5.0 |Jun precipitation days = 3.0 |Jul precipitation days = 3.9 |Aug precipitation days = 5.2 |Sep precipitation days = 3.6 |Oct precipitation days = 4.0 |Nov precipitation days = 3.3 |Dec precipitation days = 3.9 |Jan snow inch = 14.8 |Feb snow inch = 9.9 |Mar snow inch = 1.9 |Apr snow inch = 1.8 |May snow inch = 0.0 |Jun snow inch = 0.2 |Jul snow inch = 0.0 |Aug snow inch = 0.0 |Sep snow inch = 0.0 |Oct snow inch = 1.0 |Nov snow inch = 0.6 |Dec snow inch = 1.9 |Jan snow days = 2.6 |Feb snow days = 1.8 |Mar snow days = 0.7 |Apr snow days = 0.6 |May snow days = 0.1 |Jun snow days = 0.1 |Jul snow days = 0.0 |Aug snow days = 0.0 |Sep snow days = 0.0 |Oct snow days = 0.3 |Nov snow days = 0.5 |Dec snow days = 1.0 |unit snow days = 0.1 inch |source 1 = National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration[5] |source 2 = National Weather Service, Las Vegas (records)[6] }} Landmarks and attractionsPioche is known for its "Million Dollar Courthouse," built in 1872. The original cost of $88,000 far exceeded initial estimates and was financed, and refinanced with bonds totaling nearly $1 million. Pioche currently contains the county administrative offices and has one of the oldest grade schools in the state. Next door to the courthouse sits the old Mountain View Hotel, where President Herbert Hoover is said to have stayed in 1930. Built in 1895, the hotel served the lodging needs of dignitaries visiting Pioche on court business. Although the building no longer serves as a hotel, it is an example of turn-of-the-century western architecture. There is another hotel, the Overland,[7] which is still operating, with 14 themed rooms on the second floor over the main saloon. An aerial tramway carried buckets of ore from the mines to the Godbe Mill. The tramway ran during the 1920s and 1930s and was used for the transportation of silver and nickel ore. The abandoned tramway used cables which still stretch over parts of the town, with some original ore buckets intact. During Labor Day in September, the population swells for events including fireworks, history-based theater and mining car filling contests called "mucking events." In December, the town holds a public Christmas tree lighting.
