History

The village was founded in the late 1890s. The post office was named Sharp from 1901 until 1939[2] when it was renamed Adaven ('Nevada' backwards). In 1953 the post office was closed, and thereafter, the town was abandoned. A few buildings and ranches remained in the early 21st century.[3]
