Fallon

The city of Fallon extends across 3.65 square miles of Nevada desert terrain, situated 60 miles east of Reno at 1207 meters elevation.

The settlement began during the California Gold Rush when travelers established a rest point after crossing the Carson River in the mid-nineteenth century.

The downtown Maine Street district contains numerous early twentieth-century structures, earning recognition in the National Register of Historic Places in 2019.

Naval Air Station Fallon operates as a military aviation training facility on the southern outskirts, serving as a major employer for local residents.

The Carson-Truckee Project and Lahontan Dam transformed the surrounding 40-Mile Desert into productive agricultural land, enabling farming activities in the region.
