Panaca is a small, family-oriented town in Lincoln County, Nevada, located near the Utah border. Founded in the 1860s by Mormon settlers, it is one of Nevada’s oldest communities and one of the few in the state that prohibits gambling. Panaca has a population of about 900 people and retains a quiet, rural atmosphere surrounded by dramatic desert scenery. The nearby Cathedral Gorge State Park draws tourists with its unique rock formations and hiking trails. Agriculture and local tourism form the backbone of the economy. Panaca’s heritage, community spirit, and proximity to natural beauty make it a pleasant rural destination.
