History

The Truckee River in Wadsworth
  • Joe Conforte—owner of the first legal brothel in the United States—moved to Nevada in 1955 and opened the Triangle River Ranch brothel in Wadsworth; an illegal brothel at the junction of Washoe, Storey, and Lyon counties. In 1959, Conforte served 22 months in jail after attempting to blackmail Washoe County District Attorney Bill Raggio, who summarily had the ranch burned down.[8]
  • On September 8, 1959, a bill to protect American mustangs was signed into law by President Eisenhower, making it a violation of federal law to use aircraft or motorized vehicles on public land in hunting wild horses and burros. Velma Bronn Johnston of Wadsworth, nicknamed "Wild Horse Annie", had lobbied Congress to pass the bill.[9]
  • Wadsworth is known to participants in the Burning Man festival as the exit from Interstate 80 that one takes to get to Black Rock City. The event is held in the Black Rock Desert which is near Gerlach, 62 miles (100 km) north of Wadsworth on State Route 447.
  • Wadsworth is also home base to a popular Christian Rock radio station, named Renegade Radio, which broadcasts at 101.3 FM and streams at renegaderadio.org
  • The opening scene in John Ford's early western masterpiece, The Iron Horse was filmed in Wadsworth. Ford would go on to enjoy one of the greatest careers in cinema, eventually winning an unprecedented four Academy Awards as director.

Education

It is in the Washoe County School District.

Circa 2000 Natchez Elementary School in Wadsworth had about 160 students with 94% being Native American.[10] Enrollment remained at the same level as of 2016. The school is on the Paiute Indian Reservation and is the only school in the district that is on a Native American reservation.[11] Holly O'Driscoll of the Nevada Living Magazine described it as "a small, older" facility.[10] In 2017 Siobhan McAndrew of the Reno Gazette Journal stated that historically Natchez had issues with academic performance but by 2017 had a new principal and newly hired teachers. The district extensively renovated the school in summer 2017, spending $1.5 million to do so.[11]

Residents zoned to Natchez Elementary are zoned to Mendive Middle School and Edward C. Reed High School.[12]

Some students at Natchez Elementary matriculate to a Bureau of Indian Education-contracted secondary school, Pyramid Lake Schools.[10]
