From the Northeastern Nevada Regional Development Authority web site:
The perfect merger of small town charm and business-friendly community, the City of Elko is not only the number one “best small town in America,” according to Norman Crampton’s 1993 book, but also the service hub of the northeastern Nevada region. Serving a population of over 50,000, Elko has experienced a surge of retail and service industries in recent years. It’s no wonder we’re one of the fastest growing regions in Nevada.
