Re: ORIGIN OF JEAN NEVADA?
In Response To: ORIGIN OF JEAN NEVADA? ()

Actually Jean is much older than Primm. It used to be a truck stop, post office and casino (Pops Oasis) with, if I remember right some house trailers. There is a state prison just South of the former town. The closest town now is Goodsprings.

The casino to the East is where the town of Jean used to be. Because of the Interstate, I'm guessing... They bought the land, leveled the town and everything and now it's the Gold Strike. The address is 1 Main Street, Jean Nevada.

Across the interstate is Nevada Landing and the address is 2 Goodsprings Rd.

To avoid confusion the three casinos on the state line (often called State Line, but that town is up near Reno) are now in Primm NV and they used to be listed as being in Jean NV which is many miles away to the North.

One thing about the history of Jean, someone could write a book and have the ending. I don't see anyone living there anymore.
