Lovelock, on the other hand, has a little ritual that will make you, like so many others, fall in love with this town. Lovelock is the county seat of Pershing County and the county's only incorporated city. It was founded in 1866 by Welsh settler George Lovelock, who purchased the squatters' right for 320 acres and obtained the Humboldt River's oldest water rights.

This small town was once a stopover for settlers on their way to California. Lovelock later became a train depot, but farming, mining, and, later, tourism were the primary industries in the town. Gambling was also popular in the small western community at the time. Several casinos opened, as well as three legalized brothels; however, the brothels have since closed. Lovelock, like any other small town, has the usual. The Lovelock post office is located here. Pershing County's famous round courthouse was built where a school used to be at the end of Main Street. The fire department employs 30 firefighters who are also EMTs. Locals and visitors alike frequent Pershing's Pub.
