Basques have been living in Northern Nevada for over a century and form a population of several thousand. Basque immigrants first came in the mid-1800s during the Gold rush. The Basques have also been closely-tied to sheep herding in Nevada and neighboring states.

The Basque-American culture is especially prominent in the town of Winnemucca.{{Cite web|last=Billock|first=Jennifer|title=How a Remote Nevada Town Became a Bastion of Basque Culture|url=https://www.smithsonianmag.com/travel/how-remote-nevada-town-became-bastion-basque-culture-180974274/|access-date=2021-03-05|website=Smithsonian Magazine|language=en}}{{cite web |url=http://www.winnemucca.nv.us/attractions_basque_culture.html |title=Basque Culture |publisher=Winnemucca Convention & Visitors Authority |accessdate=2013-06-19 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130304030142/http://www.winnemucca.nv.us/attractions_basque_culture.html |archive-date=2013-03-04 |url-status=dead }} Basque immigrants to Winnemucca founded the Martin Hotel and the Winnemucca Hotel, both of which were associated with the Basque sheepherders.{{Cite web|date=2018-01-28|title=Basque culture leaves its mark on Nevada|url=https://www.reviewjournal.com/local/local-nevada/basque-culture-leaves-its-mark-on-nevada/|access-date=2021-03-05|website=Las Vegas Review-Journal|language=en-US}}{{cite web |url=https://nevadamagazine.com/issue/summer-2020/14069/ |title=Nevada’s Basque History |last=McCormick |first=David |date=Summer 2020 |website=Nevada Magazine |publisher=Nevada Department of Tourism and Cultural Affairs |publication-place=Carson City, Nevada |access-date=2024-11-27}}
