Question: State Route 520 was a short state highway in an independent city and the capital of Nevada, named after who?
Context: State Route 520 (SR 520) is an east–west state highway in the central part of Ohio.  SR 520's western terminus is at a T-intersection with SR 514 about 4 mi southwest of Nashville.  The highway's eastern terminus is also at a T-intersection, this time with US 62 just 0.5 mi southwest of the village Killbuck and US 62's junction with SR 60.  SR 520 provides access to the village of Glenmont. State Route 520 (SR 520) is a state highway and freeway in the Seattle metropolitan area, part of the U.S. state of Washington.  It runs 13 mi from Seattle in the west to Redmond in the east.  SR 520, a major regional freeway, connects Seattle to the Eastside region of King County via the Evergreen Point Floating Bridge, which crosses Lake Washington.  SR 520 intersects several state highways, including Interstate 5 (I-5) in Seattle, Interstate 405 (I-405) in Bellevue, and SR 202 in Redmond. State Route 520 (SR 520) was a short state highway in Carson City, Nevada.  The route served the central portion of the city, providing access to several government buildings in the capitol district.  It was turned over to local control in 2010. State Route 520 (SR 520), also known as the South Georgia Parkway, is a state highway in the southern part of the U.S. state of Georgia.  It runs from the Alabama state line, at the Chattahoochee River to Jekyll Island.  It has many concurrencies along its route, including U.S. Route 280 (US 280) from the Alabama state line to Richland; US 27 from Columbus to Cusseta; and especially US 82 from Dawson to a point southwest of Brunswick. Carson City, officially the Consolidated Municipality of Carson City, is an independent city and the capital of the US state of Nevada, named after the mountain man Kit Carson.  As of the 2010 census, the population was 55,274.  The majority of the population of the town lives in Eagle Valley, on the eastern edge of the Carson Range, a branch of the Sierra Nevada, about 30 mi south of Reno.  The town originated as a stopover for California bound emigrants, but developed into a city with the Comstock Lode, a silver strike in the mountains to the northeast.  The city has served as the capital of Nevada since statehood in 1864 and for much of its history was a hub for the Virginia and Truckee Railroad, although the tracks were removed in the 1950s.  Prior to 1969, Carson City was the county seat of Ormsby County.  In 1969, the county was abolished, and its territory merged with Carson City to form the Consolidated Municipality of Carson City.  With the consolidation, the city limits today extend west across the Sierra Nevada to the California state line in the middle of Lake Tahoe.  Like other independent cities in the United States, it is treated as a county-equivalent for census purposes. County Route 520, abbreviated CR 520, is a county highway in the U.S. state of New Jersey.  County Route 520 is a major road across Monmouth County connecting the county's central towns to the Jersey Shore at Sea Bright.  The highway extends 22.39 mi from Englishtown Road (CR 527) in Old Bridge Township to Ocean Avenue (Route 36, formerly County Route 9) in Sea Bright. State Route 299 (SR 299) is a state highway in the state of California that runs across the northern part of the state.  At 305.777 mi , it is the third longest California state highway (after Route 1 and Route 99).  Route 299 begins at US 101 at the northern edge of Arcata and continues in an easterly direction through to the Nevada state line.  Between Arcata and Redding, Route 299 intersects with State Route 96, and is briefly co-signed with State Route 3.  In Redding, it intersects with State Route 273, State Route 44, and Interstate 5.  East of Redding, it intersects with State Route 89, and a section is co-signed with State Route 139 before reaching Alturas.  It is then co-signed with U.S. Route 395 northeast of Alturas, and then runs east toward the border with Nevada.  A ghost town, Vya, Nevada, can be reached via this route, which after the border becomes a dirt road, which was formerly Nevada State Route 8A. State Route 342 (SR 342) is a short state highway in Nevada, United States.  It is a loop route of State Route 341, running north through the communities of Silver City and Gold Hill before returning to State Route 341 near Virginia City.  This highway is a historic route, dating back to the Comstock Lode of the 1860s.  The highway loosely parallels, and crosses, the route of the Virginia and Truckee Railroad.  Prior to renumbering in the 1970s this route was known as State Route 80. Maryland Route 520 (MD 520) is a state highway in the U.S. state of Maryland.  Known as Whites Neck Road, the state highway runs 2.61 mi from a dead end at a boat ramp north to MD 239 near Bushwood in western St. Mary's County.  MD 520 was constructed in 1933. Route 157 is a short state highway in the city of Absecon, New Jersey.  The route runs for only 0.91 mi as North Shore Road from an intersection with U.S. Route 30, County Route 585 and Atlantic County Route 601 in the center of Absecon to an intersection with U.S. Route 9 in the northern portion of the city.  The route is a former alignment of U.S. Route 9/State Highway Route 4 through Absecon, intersecting with State Highway Route 43 starting in the 1927 state highway renumbering.  The route stayed on the alignment until 1930, when U.S. Route 9/Route 4 was bypassed to the west.  The former alignment remained unnumbered until the 1953 state highway renumbering, when it was designated as Route 157.
