Description | The Wadsworth Dispatch, established in 1868, mirrored the rise and fall of Wadsworth, Nevada, a railroad hub thriving on Central Pacific's freight operations. Its pages chronicled the town's growth until 1904 when the railroad relocated to Sparks, triggering Wadsworth's decline. The paper, founded by Nicholas A. Hummel, provided a vital link to the community's past as businesses dwindled and residents departed. In December 1904, faced with Wadsworth's diminishing prospects, Hummel suspended the Dispatch and relocated to Sparks, where he continued publication. The Dispatch's story echoes the transient nature of boomtowns shaped by the ebb and flow of railroad commerce. NDLI hosts contents from/of year 1904 of this newspaper. |
