Stagecoach is an unincorporated community and census-designated place (CDP) in Lyon County, Nevada, United States, located east of Reno. Its name is likely derived from its place as the Overland Stagecoach station at Desert Well.{{citation needed|date=January 2023}} Typically, the mail that was heading towards California was delivered on a steamship through Panama. But in 1857, the Overland mail company was created, and the Desert Well station was a dual stop for both the stagecoach line and the Pony Express.{{citation needed|date=January 2023}}
As of the 2010 census, the population of Stagecoach was 1,874.{{cite web| url=http://factfinder.census.gov/bkmk/table/1.0/en/DEC/10_DP/G001/1600000US3268800| archive-url=https://archive.today/20200212192245/http://factfinder.census.gov/bkmk/table/1.0/en/DEC/10_DP/G001/1600000US3268800| url-status=dead| archive-date=February 12, 2020| title=Geographic Identifiers: 2010 Demographic Profile Data (G001): Stagecoach CDP, Nevada| publisher=U.S. Census Bureau, American Factfinder| accessdate=January 25, 2013}}
