Lund is a small town and census-designated place in White Pine County, Nevada, United States. The population of Lund as of 2020 was 211.

Etymology

Lund was named for Anthon H. Lund, a Mormon church official.

History

Joseph S Leavitt and family Lund White Pine County Nevada
Pioneer Joseph Smith Leavitt and family in Lund, ca. 1902

Lund was settled in 1898 on land that the United States government had given the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) in lieu of land that had been confiscated under the Edmunds–Tucker Act. The first settlers were Latter-day Saints, and the LDS Church still has a ward in Lund.

On June 24, 2020, the Brown Fire threatened Lund, resulting in residents on the south side being evacuated from their homes. Residents were allowed to return that evening. The Brown Fire burned over 8,000 acres (3,237 ha).

Education

The co-located Lund Elementary School (K-5) and Lund High School (6-12) operate as Lund Combined Schools, part of the White Pine County School District. Lund Grade School, built in 1915, operated for 90 years until 2005. The school building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2018 after being nominated by local residents.

Transportation

Lund is served by Nevada State Route 318 which passes through the town.
