Ormsby County, Nevada
Ormsby County was a
county of Nevada from
1861 until
1969. It contained
Carson City, the
county seat and later
state capital, founded two years earlier. It was named after Major William M. Ormsby, one of the original settlers of Carson City, killed in
1860.
In 1969, the county was dissolved and the independent city of Carson City took over all municipal services. Another state capital is also not in any county: Richmond, Virginia.
