Bunkerville community

Bunkerville is a small, unincorporated community located in Nevada, near the Virgin River and about 90 miles northeast of Las Vegas. It is known for its rural lifestyle and historic significance, having been settled in the late 19th century by Mormon pioneers. The community is closely associated with local ranching and agriculture. Bunkerville gained national attention in 2014 during a standoff between federal authorities and rancher Cliven Bundy over grazing rights, highlighting ongoing debates about land use and federal regulation in the American West. Today, it reflects a blend of history, culture, and contemporary issues surrounding land ownership.
