Message Board Post:
I would like to find out the origins of the name of the town of Gerlach, NV. It is located in the Black Rock Desert north of Pyramid Lake. I believe it is in Washoe County. If someone could point me in the right direction, I would certainly be interested.
Thank you

To Carolee66--
I do not wish to contact through any other genealogical site, but if you
should happen to return to this site, here is a bit of historical
information:
Gerlach is in Washoe County, in the Northern section of the Reno-Sparks
metro area.
The community was named for the Gerlach Land and Cattle Company, founded by
Louis Gerlach.
Nearby parks & recreation: Black Rock Desert (site of Burning Man), High
Rock Canyon, and Old Gerlach hot spring.
Gerlach attraction: Gerlach Hot Pool.
Although not exactly a ghost town, Gerlach's population fluctuates, with a
current population of less than 200.
