Symbolism[]
Blue and white are the city’s official colors. The inner ring of the seal represents the city’s sphere of influence as the hub of government in northwest Nevada. The mountains are the Sierra Nevada and Carson ranges that surround Eagle Valley where Carson City is located.
The eagle recalls that the first permanent settlers hung a stuffed eagle over the doorway of their log cabin in November 1851 and suggests the courage, strength, perseverance, and stability of Carson City over the decades. The Pony Express came through Carson City in 1860 and was important to the territory’s development into a state. The Virginia & Truckee Railroad united Carson City with the rest of the United States and was the city’s largest employer for several decades. Carson City was named and surveyed as a town in 1858. The CC on the seal is for the United States Mint that was established there (all coins minted in the city bore the mint mark “CC” for Carson City).
2004 NAVA survey[]
The flag scored 3.85 on the 2004 NAVA City Flag Survey, tied with Plano, and ahead of Columbia.
