This is a town best known to tourists as the base camp of adventures. Pahrump was first inhabited by early settlers in the late 19th century. The name Pahrump was adopted from its indigenous name pah- rimpi which meant water rock. This name was given due to the abundant artesian wells that formed in the valley.
