In the mid-to late 19th century, nonnative populations first settled Fallon, Nevada, and the surrounding areas in Churchill County.

In the mid-1890s, Jim Richards established a store at the crossing and Mike Fallon opened a small post office nearby. Now referred to as the "Oasis of Nevada", it is home to thousands.
