Reno Arch is located at Virginia St, Reno, NV 89501.
The original Reno Arch, built in 1926, didn't say "The Biggest Little City in the World". It wasn't created to add glitz to a downtown casino district (casino gambling didn't become legal in Nevada until 1931), or even as a sign intended to symbolize Reno's city pride. So what's with this famous symbol?
It was inspired by the automobile and, more specifically, the completion of America's first coast-to-coast motor routes, The Lincoln Highway and The Victory Highway. The first iteration of the arch, planted at Virginia Street and Commercial Row, and dedicated by a cadre of Nevada and California politicians on October 23, 1926, promoted the Nevada Transcontinental Highways Exposition (held in Reno from June 25 to August 1, 2023).
