San Jacinto is a ghost town in along Salmon Falls Creek in northern Elko County, Nevada, United States.[1] It is part of the Elko Micropolitan Statistical Area.
It was the site of a railroad station located eight miles northeast of Contact, Nevada on the Union Pacific railroad.[2]
It is named after the San Jacinto Ranch,[3] which in turn is named for the Battle of San Jacinto, fought at present-day Houston, Texas in 1836.[2]
The San Jacinto post office was in operation from November 1898 through April 1938.[4]
The lowest temperature ever recorded in Nevada, −50 °F (−46 °C) was recorded in San Jacinto on January 8, 1937.[5]
The site of the former community is just east of U.S. Route 93.or the Great Basin Highway.[6] Most of what remains of the ghost town is what is now the San Jacinto Ranch.
