McDermitt, Nevada–Oregon
McDermitt is an unincorporated community straddling the Nevada–Oregon border, in Humboldt County, Nevada, and Malheur County, Oregon, in the United States. McDermitt's economy has historically been based on mining, ranching, and farming, although the last mining operation closed in 1990, resulting in a steady decline in population.〔
As of the 2010 census, the combined population was 513. Seventy-five percent of the residents were American Indian, predominantly Northern Paiute.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 2010 Census Data )〕
==History==
The community, originally called Dugout, was named after Fort McDermit, which in turn was named after Lt. Col. Charles McDermit, commander of the Military District of Nevada, who was killed in a skirmish in the area in 1865. It is not known why there is a discrepancy in the spelling.〔 Fort McDermit, which was five miles (8 km) outside the current township, was originally established to protect the stagecoach route from Virginia City through Winnemucca to Silver City, Idaho Territory. The stage road was the military's most important transportation route in southeast Oregon.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Winnemucca to Silver City Wagon Road )〕 The township of Dugout was established as support for Fort McDermit.
