To the north is Carson City; Lyon County is to the east, and California is to the west and south. Douglas County includes the towns of Genoa, Minden, and Gardnerville (these three towns plus the surrounding land encompass Carson Valley). Carson Valley is one of Nevada's first settled areas and includes the state's first permanent settlement, Genoa. Since Douglas County was primarily a ranching community, the area was much less transient than those counties whose chief industry was mining. Many of the families found in these records still have descendants living on the same ranches and in the same towns that were inhabited by these early Nevadans more than 100 years ago. This database contains birth records from 1885 to 1900, marriage records from 1862 to 1919, and death records from 1887 to 1923. Source Information: Robinson, Doreen, comp.
