History

Lyon County was organized in 1872, and the first courthouse erected in 1874. This courthouse, a 3-story frame structure with hipped roof and bracketted eaves, was later moved a few blocks, stuccoed and painted green, and is used as an apartment house. The present courthouse was begun in 1916 and was dedicated the following year.
