The story
from WikipediaRead it all ↗A post office had been in operation at Crescent Valley since 1963, closing in 2008. A small store at the SE corner of 2nd street and State Route 306 has one of the only “Village Post Offices” in the state of Nevada. Postal boxes to receive mail were installed at the Fairgrounds. Mail is delivered from the Post Office in Carlin, Nevada by automobile.
The community takes its name from the valley in which it is located, which in turn was named on account of its crescent shape.
