History

The Fallon Day School was established in 1908 near Fallon, Nevada. The school superintendent was also assigned the duties of an agent for a small group of Paiute Indians. It also supervised the Lovelocks School after 1912. The school and subagency were placed under the Walker River Agency in 1925 and ceased to operate as independent jurisdictions.
