Battle Mountain, Nevada Hotels

The name Battle Mountain first appeared in April of 1866 when the Battle Mountain Mining District was formed. One of the men involved in the new district told the local newspaper that the name came from a battle he and 22 other emigrants had with the Indians in 1857, but there is no confirming evidence or records to support the story. Battle Mountain is perhaps best known as having been designated the "armpit of America" in a 2001 Washington Post article. Battle Mountain has capitalized on this notoriety by staging an annual "Armpit Festival", starting in 2002. Currently the festival is sponsored by Old Spice, and portions of the festival take place in a nearby open pit mine. Battle Mountain has good lodging options for its visitors.
