Nevadavilles history is much the same as Black Hawkand Central City. This was another town in the crowded Gregory Gulch, formed after the 1859 gold discovery by John Gregory. The settlement was known as just Nevada until around 1870 when the name was changed to Nevadaville.Whereas Blackhawk was the smelting and industrial center of the district, and Central City was the economic and social center, Nevadaville was the working class town where many of the district's miners lived. The town thrived into the 1890s but declined dramatically after 1900.
