History

Before Zephyr Cove was established, the Native American Washoe people lived around the area. The first Anglo-American settlers to encounter the area were Kit Carson and John Fremont in 1844.

In 1862, Anglo-Americans settled around the community. They named the community Zephyr Cove, which was named after the Washoe Zephyr.

A post office called Zephyr Cove has been in operation since 1930. The name of the post office popularized the term and it soon became the name of the community.
