Alamo is an unincorporated town[3] in Lincoln County, Nevada, United States, about 90 miles (140 km) north of Las Vegas along U.S. Route 93. As of the 2010 census it had a population of 1,080.[4]

History

A post office has been in operation at Alamo since 1905.[5] The community was named in commemoration of the Battle of the Alamo.[6] A large share of the first settlers were Mormons.[7]

Alamo banned alcohol sales due to the religious roots and principles of the settlers. Many of the residents are members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and their faith "preaches abstinence from alcohol".[8] In 2022, the town board proposed allowing alcohol sales in gas stations and supermarkets but continue to restrict bars.[8]

Geography

Alamo lies in the Pahranagat Valley. Its economy is dependent primarily upon ranching. The closest attraction is the Pahranagat National Wildlife Refuge.[9]

Between Alamo and the town of Rachel is the site of the Devonian Alamo Impact Breccia.[10]

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the Alamo census-designated place has an area of 30.3 square miles (78.4 km2), all of it land.[4]
