Yerington

Built around irrigated farms in Nevada’s Mason Valley, Yerington grew into the seat of Lyon County. The community lies in the Walker River basin, where broad valley floors have long supported alfalfa, hay and cattle production amid the dry Basin and Range country. Yerington was named for Henry M. Yerington, a superintendent of the Virginia and Truckee Railroad, tying the town to Nevada’s railway era. Its compact downtown serves the surrounding ranches and nearby mining areas, while routes from town lead through open desert terrain toward Walker Lake.
