Sparks is a city in Washoe County, Nevada, United States, located east of Reno, Nevada.
The population was 66,346 at the 2000 census. As of July 1, 2008, the U.S. Census Bureau
estimates that the population has grown to 88,602. It is often referred to as half of a twin
city ("Reno-Sparks").

According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 24 square miles, of which 23.9 sq mi of it is land and 0.1 sq mi of it is water. Stormwater surface runoff from the city drains into the Truckee River, a sensitive hydrological element because it empties into Pyramid Lake, which has no outlet and is the habitat of two endangered species.

In the early historical period, the area that is now Sparks was inhabited by the Washoe people.
Euro-American settlement of the area began in the early 1850s. Early settlers often sold cattle
to California-bound emigrants. The emigrants' cattle were commonly weak and sick from the long
and arduous journey along the California Trail, and they needed fresh animals to take them over
the Sierra Nevada. As part of the deal, the settlers would receive the emigrants' cattle, and
then fatten them up to sell to the next year's batch of emigrants.

The population density in the area remained very low until 1904 when the Southern Pacific Railroad built a switch yard and maintenance sheds there. The city that sprung up around them was first called Harriman after Edward Harriman who was then president of the railroad. The city was quickly renamed Sparks after John Sparks, who was the Governor of Nevada at that time. This gesture was an unsuccessful attempt to stall safety and tariff regulation of the railroads by the state.

Sparks remained a small and sleepy town until the 1950s, when economic growth in Reno triggered a housing boom in the area of Sparks north of the railroad. In the 1970s the area south of the railroad started to fill up with warehouses and light industry. In 1984 the tower for John Ascuaga's Nugget was finished, giving Sparks its first, and to this date only, high-rise casino. In 1996, the redevelopment effort of the old and unsightly B Street business district across from the Nugget that started in the early 1980s took a step forward with the opening of a multi-screen movie complex and the construction of a plaza area. This area, now known as Victorian Square, is a pedestrian-friendly district that hosts many open-air events.
