Opening comment
Is it worth noting that the "Virginia City" set of Bonanza was located near Lake Tahoe but miles from the actual Virginia City & bears only a very slight resemblance to it?

This is not one of the oldest cities west of the Mississippi
This statement is so wrong its laughable. The article itself even admits that Virginia City was founded in 1859. There were plenty of other cities around much older than Virginia City. I'm going to delete this comment. Dr. Morbius 21:06, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

Error on Climate Data
CLimate data heading lists the name as Virginia City, California as opposed to Nevada. Going to fix it now
Racist behavior
Today, Virginia City is growing in popularity because of a viral video on TikTok of Mr. Gary Miller talking about a hanging tree for a black gentleman. Following that incident, Gary Miller, his wife Janis Miller, and daughter Tiffany Miller were arrested. A Nov. 14 2024 pretrial conference is scheduled. 38.27.115.22 (talk) 19:11, 27 August 2024 (UTC)
You're right
Bonanza does have endless references and scenes in Virginia City. The coloring book mentions it as ths town that the main characters have to shop in for supplies.
Theres countless other " westerns" that mention the history, or again, is the town. Im watching Robert Mitchum in " Nevada" ( movie) where a title card calls it, " Gold Hill"
" Godmonster..." movie from 1970s does an interesting job showcasing the City, it even films the Bucket of Blood saloon road ad, see opening credits ( wow!) 148.170.39.30 (talk) 02:21, 2 May 2025 (UTC)
