The Republican Party was formed in 1860.

This source appears to have the history of the GOP party in Nevada.

I'm not sure if this source will be helpful but it does have survey's in the description so it might have some useful information.

History
The territory of Nevada was established in 1861. It held its first constitutional convention on November 2nd, 1863. Nevada designed its constitution much like that of California. Nevada finally became a state on October 31st, 1864. It became a state because not only did Americans find gold and silver in Comstock Lode, but also because of the increasing pressure of secession before the American Civil War.
