Coppereid, also known as White Cloud City is a ghost town in Churchill County, Nevada. It had a total population of 40 people. The site of Coppereid is south of Lovelock, east of the Carson Sink in the Stillwater Range.[1]
Coppereid has very soft, shallow, and well drained soils. They are found on mountain slopes. They are mostly dry throughout the year, except for Winter, where they become moist.[2]
From 1893 to 1896, a small copper smelter was in operation.[3]
Coppereid was named after John T. Reid. Coppereid had a post office from April 1907 to June 1914.
On December 2, 1909, Fallon became the supply for the site due to the fact that it was closer than Lovelock.[4]
