[edit] History

Pahrump, Nevada welcome sign, entering town from Bell Vista Road.
Pahrump, Nevada welcome sign, entering town from Bell Vista Road.

Originally inhabited by the Shoshone, it was discovered and slowly inhabited by American settlers in the late 19th century. They reportedly chose the name for the valley which Pahrump is named after from the original indigenous name Pah-Rimpi, or "Water Rock," so named because of the abundant artesian wells in the valley. Because of these artesian wells, the new inhabitants of Pahrump Valley began a number of large ranch-style holdings, mostly over 1000 acres (4 km²) in size. On these ranches, alfalfa, cotton, and livestock were raised.

Until the 1960s, Pahrump had no telephone service and there were no paved roads in or out of the Pahrump Valley. However, as Las Vegas grew, real estate speculation became more popular in the area, which led to increased interest in Pahrump. This led to the introduction of telephone service and the construction of a paved highway, from Las Vegas to Pahrump, during the late 1960s. Later, this road was extended from Pahrump northward to US 95, near Amargosa Valley. A second paved road was introduced that went from Pahrump to neighboring Shoshone, California, which provided a link to the Death Valley area, as well as a shorter route to those wishing to travel to Los Angeles or other areas in California. In 1974 Pahrump's first high school was constructed.

Since the late 1970s, Pahrump has grown almost exponentially, increasing from about 2000 residents in 1980 to almost 25,000 in 2000. Pahrump is an archetypal example of an exurb. Almost all significant agriculture has ceased in the valley, and the surface aquifers have been filled up over the years. Pahrump has also attracted a number of notable residents, including paranormal talk radio host Art Bell. Michael Jackson purchased a home in the area 2008 where he has a home studio and homeschools his three children.[3] Notable businesses in the area include Front Sight Firearms Training Institute and Spring Mountain Motor Sports Ranch, in addition to several legal brothels such as the Chicken Ranch and Sheri's Ranch.

Government offices for Pahrump

Similar to many communities in Nevada, Pahrump has a "semi-incorporated" town status, with a limited government that manages land use planning, recreation, and fire, while leaving most services to Nye County.

On November 15, 2006, the Pahrump town board voted for an ordinance declaring English the official language of business, forbidding the display of foreign flags and denying any benefits to illegal aliens. A measure in the ordinance requires an American flag to be displayed above any other flag, regardless of what organization, nation or government it represents. This law was repealed on February 13, 2007. [4]

He is the founder of the Coast to Coast AM radio talk show, which is mainly about paranormal matters. He still hosts it on some weekends, and also owns KNYE, the local radio station located in Pahrump.

[edit] In fiction

  • In the movie Rain Man the diner scene and exterior where "Rain Man" himself counts the cards was filmed at a Pahrump bar known for rough fights.
  • In the film Mars Attacks! Martians land in Pahrump and announce that they have "come in peace", but after a dove flies overhead they attack and kill the humans gathered there. (The scene was actually shot in Burns, Kansas, as was most of the film.)
  • The town has been mentioned on CSI: Crime Scene Investigation.
  • Season 2 of the CBS reality show The Amazing Race featured Pahrump's dry lake bed as its starting point.
  • Pahrump was featured in the Aaron Sorkin television drama Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip in a two-part episode titled "Nevada Day". Part One aired November 6, 2006, and Part Two was aired a week later on November 13. The scenes, however, were set only in the town jail and a small diner across the street, and the town itself was not featured, implying that Pahrump was a much smaller town than it is. The town's name was the butt of a running gag with each member of the cast snickering the first time they heard the name.
  • Rush drummer Neil Peart mentions in his book Ghost Rider that he guesses that Pahrump means "soggy bottom", based on his belief that "pah" meant "water".
  • Pahrump was also mentioned in the television show Las Vegas when a customer came to the Montecito and wished to go to Pahrump to visit one of the brothels. A second mention occurred in an episode where Danny promises to take a boy to visit there once he turns 18 in exchange for a horse.
  • The town was mentioned in the music video for the Kid Rock song Cowboy, from the album Devil Without a Cause.
