==History==
[[File:Incline 1891.jpg|thumb|left|Sierra Nevada Wood and Lumber Company rail line in 1891]]

Incline Village was established in 1882 with a post office opening February 7, 1884.<ref>{{cite book|last=Carlson|first=Helen S.|title=Nevada place names : a geographical dictionary|date=1985|publisher=University of Nevada Press|location=Reno|isbn=0-87417-094-X|page=141}}</ref>

===Sierra Nevada Wood and Lumber Company===
The Sierra Nevada Wood and Lumber Company (SNW&L) was a logging company that operated on the northeast side of [[Lake Tahoe]] at what is today known as Incline Village, which was named after the SNW&L [[incline railway]] that served the area. Timber was required for the mines during the mining boom in the late 1800s of the nearby [[Comstock Lode]] in [[Virginia City, Nevada|Virginia City]]. The timber around Lake Tahoe was placed on the incline railway where it was taken up {{convert|1400|ft|m}} and then dropped by a gravity [[flume]] down the western side of mountain to a {{convert|3000|ft}} tunnel to Carson City. The company operated a number of other railroad lines that were {{RailGauge|3ft|lk=on}} [[Narrow-gauge railway|narrow gauge]] and [[Standard-gauge railway|standard gauge]].<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://truckeehistory.org/historyArticles/history33.htm |title=Sierra Nevada Wood and Lumber Company |author=Richards, Gordon Richards |publisher=Truckee–Donner Historical Society |access-date=2014-01-31 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130819193916/http://truckeehistory.org/historyArticles/history33.htm |archive-date=2013-08-19 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
