Nevada Tooele County
When Tooele County, Utah Territory was created 3 March 1852[1] [2] [3] [4] it extended into present-day Nevada from the shore of the Great Salt Lake on the east to the western edge of the Great Basin in California between Desert and Juab counties in Utah Territory.
On 5 January 1856 Tooele County was reduced significantly, and former Tooele County land in present-day Nevada was used to form part of Carson, Humboldt, and Saint Mary's counties.[5][6] In present-day Utah Tooele County was also reduced by the creation of Shambip County.[3]
