Let's Eat Reno, Sparks, Northern Nevada!

Reno history began when Charles William Fuller arrived in the Truckee Meadows in 1859.

Fuller occupied a piece of land on the south bank of the Truckee River. By early 1860, he had constructed a bridge and small hotel, and the place was known as Fuller's Crossing.

The Central Pacific Railroad crossed the Sierra Nevada in 1868 and pushed its tracks into the Truckee Meadows. In 1871, the Nevada State Legislature moved Washoe County seat to Reno, where one year later the Virginia & Truckee Railroad extended its line.

The town soon became an important commercial center on the transcontinental railroad and a transfer point for the immense wealth coming out of the gold and silver mines of Nevada and California.

At the beginning of the twentieth century, Reno gained national notoriety after a number of famous people obtained divorces in the city under Nevada's lenient laws. Newspapers sensationalized the incidents, dubbing Reno the "divorce capital of the world."

Reno's sister city, Sparks, was established in 1904 as a division point on the Southern Pacific Railroad.

After the legalization of casino gambling by the state legislature in 1931, Reno filled with gambling establishments–beginning the start of a tourist industry that flourishes today.

The growth of Reno’s tourist economy is directly supported by an assortment of culturally diverse restaurants, eateries, cafés, bars, pubs, breweries & food trucks all with the same goal – to meet demand for quality cuisine and great eats.

Northern Nevada restaurants meet a universal interest for great culinary fare and diversity with amazing eateries to rival that of any region, if not challenge the norm of what defines rank or standing as a leader within the culinary arts.

With over 1200 restaurants serving Northern Nevada, RenoEats features every single one of them as listed in our Business Directory, providing in-depth information about food and dining in Northern Nevada. Let's Eat!

RenoEats Community Food Network is built to promote and support everything local about food in Northern Nevada.
