Lovelock, incorporated in 1917, serves as the county seat for Pershing County, Nevada. It was a principle stop for settlers on their way to California, later becoming a a train depot.
The foundation of Lovelock occurred in 1868 when the Central Pacific Railroad laid track through the settlement. The historic town is known for its famous round court house and it’s Locks of Love.
Lovelock is a town based more on it’s railroad connections versus the mining side of Nevada’s development, although mining does play an important role even today in the local economy.
Lovelock hosts numerous annual events and activities but the city has many unique and interesting buildings in the downtown area.
