History
Churchill County was created in 1861 and named for Fort Churchill (which today is really in Lyon County), which had been named for General Sylvester Churchill, a Mexican War hero who was Inspector General of the U.S. Army in 1861. Churchill County was not organized until 1864, and its county seats were Bucklands (1861-64)which is now in Lyon County, La Plata (1864-68), Stillwater (1868-1904) and Fallon (1904-present). In the nineteenth century there were several attempts to eliminate Churchill County because of its small population, but Assemblyman Lemuel Allen was able to stop it on all occasions including convincing the Governor to veto the bill after it had been passed by both houses in 1875. 1861 is a common year starting on Tuesday. ...
