Eagleville is a former populated place in Mineral County, Nevada, that is now a ghost town.
Mineral deposits were first discovered in the area by the 1870s. [2] Eagleville had some Mormon residents in the 1870s. [lower-alpha 1] Eagleville's post office was in operation from June 1889 until March 1913. [4] Baryte within limestone in large quantities were examined in Eagleville in 1899, but its distance from the railroad deemed it as unprofitable to work.
The Eagleville area produced small amounts of gold and silver in 1905 and 1908 [5] -1909. [6] [7] The Jim Barron mine (also known as the Baron mine) was in operation near Eagleville in the 1910s. [8] The Golden Extension Mine was in production from 1915 to 1918. [5]
After Eagleville declined in Mineral County in the 1910s [9] and the 1950s it was noted that a small village was present with the same name in nearby Churchill County. [10] The site is 10.5 miles (16.9 km) northeast of Rawhide, [10] 10 miles (16 km) southeast of Frenchman's Station. [11]

Poeville, also known as Peavine until 1863, is the site of a historical mining town, established in 1864. John Poe, a professional promoter from Michigan allegedly related to Edgar Allan Poe, discovered rich gold and silver veins in 1862 on the slopes of Peavine Mountain. After the discovery of ore, Poe announced that the veins comprised the next Comstock Lode; he presented extracted ore at the state fair of 1864 as rich in content. As a result, the former mining camp, called Poe City (Poeville) or Podunk (Poedunk), grew to 200 people by 1864. Ore production in the mining district and population peaked around 1873-1874 with several hundred people living in town, supported by three hotels and a post office. The post office, named "Poeville", operated between September 1, 1874, and March 24, 1878. As of 2010 the population of the community is 0.
