Denio, Nevada

Denio was named after Aaron Denio, who settled in the area in 1885. He was born in 1824 in Illinois and traveled to California in 1860. He worked in milling, mining, and farming in Nevada and California for 25 years before settling near the Oregon-Nevada border. He died at Denio in 1907. The Denio post office was established in Oregon in 1888. After World War II a number of businesses relocated south of the state line to take advantage of Nevada's lack of an income tax and more liberal liquor, gambling, and prostitution laws. The post office was moved and reopened in Nevada in 1950 for Nevada addresses, not Oregon. ==Education==

Public education in Denio (on the Nevada side) is administered by the Humboldt County School District, which operates the Denio School, a three-room kindergarten-eighth grade (K-8) school. There were 20 students in the 1963-1964 school year; likewise, enrollment in December 2004 was also 20 students. The Denio, Oregon, community was historically served by Crane Union, with the high school taking in several Basque Oregonians from there. Denio has a public library, a branch of the Humboldt County Library. Humboldt County is in the service area of Great Basin College. That college maintains the GBC Center in Winnemucca. Harney County is not in a community college district but has a "contract out of district" (COD) with Treasure Valley Community College. TVCC operates the Burns Outreach Center in Burns. ==Climate==
