"Pahrump was 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 km˛) in size. On these ranches,
alfalfa,
cotton,
and
livestock were raised."
