Joy Nevada History
JOY -
(T24N R57E Section 23) In
1869 silver was discovered in Water Canyon. Joy formed about six years
later in a ravine between Bald Mountain and South Bald Mountain.
Isolated Joy was supplied by Elko and Halleck, both about 80 miles to
the north. A post office was established in 1905 to serve the little
camp of fifty miners. It was not profitable to continue mining here and
the camp faded away.
