Nevada state law allows for governance of unincorporated towns under two different systems. The Unincorporated Town Government Law, adopted in 1975, applies to counties of 100,000 people or more, and any other county that opts in. For other counties, a patchwork system of laws applies.[1]
A 1975 study by the state Legislative Commission identified 39 unincorporated towns in Nevada.[2] As of 2014, the state Demographer's Office listed 44 unincorporated towns.[3]
