Unincorporated community in the state of Nevada, United States From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Weed Heights is an unincorporated community in Lyon County, Nevada, USA.[1] It is adjacent to Yerington.
The Anaconda Copper Company built Weed Heights in 1952, named for Clyde E Weed, vice president in charge of Anaconda operations,[2] to support the Anaconda Mine.[3] A post office was established March 16, 1953.[2] The town was owned by Anaconda until the company was taken over by Atlantic Richfield Company.[4] Atlantic Richfield ceased operations in 1978 and sold the property in 1982 to Don Tibbals,[5] a Lyon County commissioner,[6] who subsequently sold the entire property to Arimetco, with the exception of the town of Weed Heights,[4] which is now a rental community and RV park.[7]
