==History== Most of the town and surrounding land has been maintained by the heirs of the historic [[Friday's Station]] of the [[Pony Express]]; it is leased to the casinos. The duplex naming of the community originated in part because of an [[Lake Tahoe#Interstate Boundary Dispute|interstate border dispute]], resulting from differences in several boundary surveys.<ref name="CA v.

However, an 1893 [[United States Coast and Geodetic Survey| United States Coast and Geodetic Survey (C.G.S.)]] placed the border several thousand feet east of 1872 Von Schmidt line, creating a discrepancy which left the community in legal jeopardy. The [[Stateline Country Club]] operated in the 1930s. By the mid-1950s to mid-1960s, gambling development moved east across the 1893 [[United States Coast and Geodetic Survey|C.G.S.]] line to a new adjacent community of Edgewood, Nevada.<ref name="USGS Bijou 1963">{{cite map |author = United States Geological Survey |author-link = United States Geological Survey |year = 1963 |title = Bijou, Calif.-Nev. |url = https://ngmdb.usgs.gov/img4/ht_icons/Browse/CA/CA_Bijou_288431_1955_24000.jpg |format = JPEG |type = Topographic map |series = 7.5 Minute Series |scale = 1:24,000 |location = Reston, VA |publisher = United States Geological Survey |access-date= July 17, 2018}}</ref><ref name="USGS SL71">{{cite map |author = United States Geological Survey |author-link = United States Geological Survey |year = 1971 |title = South Lake Tahoe, Calif.—Nev. |url = https://ngmdb.usgs.gov/img4/ht_icons/Browse/CA/CA_South%20Lake%20Tahoe_300620_1955_24000.jpg |format = JPEG |type = Topographic map |series = 7.5 Minute Series |scale = 1:24,000 |location = Reston, VA |publisher = United States Geological Survey |access-date= July 17, 2018}}</ref> After a 1980 [[Supreme Court of the United States|US Supreme Court]] ruling,<ref name="CA v.
