Searchlight, Nevada. Searchlight has a most interesting and intriguing history that includes many famous names: Clara Bow, Rex Bell, Edith Head, LT William Nellis, U.S. Senator Harry Reid, James Cashman, and an endless list of colorful and fascinating characters that are legends of the old west.

The Searchlight Mining District was founded July 20, 1898. The Quartette Mining Company, formed in 1900, became the mainstay of the Searchlight District.

Today the Searchlight community has approximately 800 residents and about 50% of them are retired. The other 50% are an eclectic mix of miners, ranchers, small business owners and artists.

Searchlight is the proud home to the Harry Reid Elementary School (named in honor of the US Senator) which serves grades 1 through 5. The Searchlight Community Center was dedicated in October 1989. The center houses the Medical Clinic, a branch of the Las Vegas/Clark Country Library, the Searchlight Historic Museum, and the office of Clark County Parks and Recreation Representative. There are also two churches, a full service post office and a senior citizens center in town.
