McDermitt is a unique small border town located in the northern part of Nevada, USA, on the border with Oregon, straddling the border between the two states. It is dominated by a Native American community and is part of the traditional territory of the Western Shoshone and Northern Paiute nations. The economy is based on agriculture, livestock, and small retail businesses, and the surrounding desert and mountainous landscape is mostly sparsely populated, with a 2020 count of only about 500 people. With a rich history as a military post and trading post, McDermitt is now characterized by a peaceful rural atmosphere and First Nations culture that attracts a handful of tourists to explore its natural beauty and frontier flair.
