Palmetto, Nevada is an abandoned ghost town in Esmeralda County, in the U.S. state of Nevada. Palmetto was founded and established in 1866, the time when silver was found. Although the town was abandoned in a year, folks returned in 1906 when mines were reopened and several businesses started up as well. However, this lasted only a few months as well, as people abandoned Palmetto for Blair. The same kind of attempt at a comeback was made in 1920 with the same results. All that stands today are the remains of old buildings.^[1]
