While nearby Eden was seeing activity, a the Nevada Gold Sight Mining Company began prospecting to the south, and Harriman came into being. It's possibly named after a prominent railroad man of the time. E. H. Harriman. While they did manage to produce some ore, the company built a boarding house or two for the twenty-five or so men working there, but by 1911 the company folded, and the few prospectors poking around left soon afterwards.
