United States Gotoarrow.png Nevada Gotoarrow.png Millard County

When Millard County, Utah Territory was created 3 March 1852[1] [2] [3] [4] it extended into present-day Nevada from Sanpete County, Utah on the east to the western edge of the Great Basin in California between Juab and Iron counties in Utah Territory.

Utah Territory's old 1856 counties are named in orange. Present-day Nevada counties are outlined in white.
On 5 January 1856 the Utah legislature reduced Millard County land in present-day Nevada by carving out part of Carson County and the northern part of Beaver County. In 1861 the U.S. Congress created Nevada Territory with its eastern border at 116° W, and in 1862 moved Nevada's eastern border one degree of longitude east, and repeated that again in 1866, each time reducing Millard County, Utah.[5] Former Millard County land in present-day Nevada was used eventually to form parts of Carson, Ormsby, Carson City (Independent City), Washoe, Douglas, Storey, Lyon, Churchill, Mineral, Nye, Lander, Eureka, White Pine, and Lincoln, counties.[6]
