Lyon County, Nevada
Located in northwestern Nevada, Lyon County includes two incorporated cities: the City of Fernley and the City of Yerington. The county is adjacent to
Storey and Washoe counties on the north, Mineral and Mono (California)
counties on the south, Churchill and Mineral counties on the east, and Douglas
County and Carson City on the west. Three rivers flow through the County: the
Carson River, the Truckee River and the Walker River.
Throughout most of the County's past, growth has been gradual and slow and
the County has remained predominantly rural in character. In recent years
development within Lyon County increased in response to the development
and expansion of the Northern Nevada region with some areas of the County
becoming suburbanized.
A majority of the County’s development lies within eight communities: Dayton,
Fernley, Mason Valley, Mound House, Silver City, Silver Springs, Smith Valley
and Stagecoach. For three years during the past ten years, the County was
one of the 10 fastest growing counties in the United States (on a percentage
basis).
