Welcome to the Newto News for January of 2026. My name is Zack Cockfield, and my team and I created Newtomedia as a way for visitors or new residents to get information about a city. Each month we bring together resources that will update you on the history, amenities, culture, future opportunities and all other things inside a city that make it unique. We also hope to be a resource for connecting you with people and businesses that can help you live a better life. If you find our efforts useful, please click on the links to get more information!

Reno, Nevada was founded in 1868 as a small trading post on the Truckee River by a group of prospectors seeking silver and gold. The city quickly grew with the discovery of silver in the nearby Comstock Lode, becoming a bustling hub for mining, commerce, and entertainment. In the early 20th century, Reno gained a reputation as a divorce destination, offering quick and easy divorces to couples from all over the country. This led to the city’s nickname as the “Divorce Capital of the World.” During the mid-20th century, Reno experienced rapid growth and development, becoming known for its casinos, entertainment, and vibrant nightlife. The city’s economy boomed as it became a popular tourist destination, drawing visitors from all over the world.
