People From Elko, Nevada
The term "the people" refers to the public or common mass of people of a polity. As such it is a concept of human rights law, international law as well as constitutional law, particularly used for claims of popular sovereignty.

Jiggs is located at the southwestern foothills of the extensive Ruby Mountains; the community is about south of Elko. History The site was formerly a year-round camp for Native Americans gathering pine nuts. Prior names for the settlement had been Mound Valley, Skelton, and Hylton—unfortunately, all at the same time.

One of the names was Jiggs, a character in the ''Bringing Up Father'' comic strip, who was always bickering with his wife Maggie. The town was the headquarters for "King Fisher", a fictional character created by author Zane Grey. The town was featured in a 1965 Volkswagen advertising ...
