Pahrump Wedding
Pahrump is a census-designated place (CDP) in Nye County, Nevada, United States. The population was 24,631 at the 2000 census. The 2005 estimated population is 40,371. [1] The town's motto is "Heart of the New Old West". 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.
