Pahrump was originally home for the Southern Paiute community before settlers started arriving towards the end of the 19th century. History has it that the town’s name was inspired by the native community’s chosen name, ‘Pah-rimpi,’ which is translated to mean ‘Water Rock.’ This was attributed to the sheer abundance of wells in the region.
