Pahrump Summary
Pahrump is a small town located in Nye County, Nevada, United States. It is situated in the Mojave Desert, approximately 60 miles west of Las Vegas. The town is home to approximately 36,000 people, making it the largest town in Nye County.
History
The area that is now Pahrump was originally inhabited by the Southern Paiute people. The first non-native settlers arrived in the area in the late 19th century, and the town was officially founded in 1951. The name Pahrump is derived from the Southern Paiute word for “water rock”, referring to the abundant natural springs in the area.
In the 1950s, the town began to grow rapidly as a result of the construction of the nearby Nevada Test Site. The test site was used for nuclear weapons testing from 1951 to 1992, and the town’s population grew to over 10,000 by the early 1960s.
