The independent citizenry of Sparks would never hear of naming their town an ordinary name like East Reno, New Wadsworth or Harriman. Instead, they opted for Sparks in honor of "Honest John" Sparks, a former Governor of Nevada who was instrumental in the city's development. Today, the same independent spirit is alive and well. Sparks, Nevada is a city of more than 72,000 residents located in the Truckee Meadows between the Carson and Virginia mountain ranges near the exciting city of Reno. Sparks is Nevada's fifth largest city and shares a picturesque valley on the eastern slope of the Sierra's with Reno. Sparks is a serene, family oriented city with a strong downtown business core and both established and newly developing residential neighborhoods.
