History Of Tahoe City
Tahoe City was surveyed and mapped for the first time in 1863. This was immediately followed by the construction of many tiny houses and the Tahoe House Hotel by founding settler William Pomin in 1864. The Tahoe Basin was being logged at the time to support the gold and silver craze at Virginia City to the east, which began in 1858 and lasted until the 1890s. Native Americans, particularly the Washoe Tribe's forefathers, had John C. Fremont, who found Lake Tahoe in 1844, by almost 10,000 years. For millennia, the lake served as the heart of the Washoe culture, supplying a variety of foods to withstand the winter. The Washoe's phrase – Da ow a ga – translates to "edge of the lake," and the word 'Tahoe' is the consequence of a misinterpretation of the first two syllables. The city was well known for its hotels. All the historic accommodations have been lost to time. Most of them were destroyed by fire, which regularly plagued Virginia City and Truckee.
