Cobre is an uninhabited ghost town in Elko County, Nevada, United States. The town was located at the former interchange point between the Southern Pacific Railroad and the Nevada Northern Railway, and came into being when construction of the Nevada Northern began in 1905. The Nevada Northern was constructed primarily to serve the copper mines and smelter near Ely, Nevada, and cobre is the Spanish word for "copper."
