Truckee
The name of the town derives from a friendly Paiute Indian
guide whom, in 1844, assisted thousands of emigrants migrating
west across the Humboldt Sink. The Indian's name sounded like "Tro-kay" to
the white men, who dubbed him "Truckee." He became a
favorite of the white settlers who found him to be honest and helpful.
Chief Truckee fought bravely alongside Col. John C. Fremont in
the Mexican War and was the father of Chief Winnemucca. Excerpt
from the "Truckee-Donner Historical Society"
Truckee
is turning into the premiere mountain community of the United States.
An excellent climate, great location, close proximity to
Reno along with the multitude of outdoor recreation is a huge draw.
Many ski areas area within a 10-20 minute drive. Donner Lake, Boca
and Stampede Reservoirs are a boaters dream. Mountain biking is terrific
throughout the region.
Truckee incorporated several years back. The
region is experiencing serious growth. With this growth, excellent opportunities
are bountiful
for the savvy purchaser. This is a great place to live and attracts
both the resort second home purchaser and families who are relocating
here permanently.
