History
In the early 1870s, Tom Plane operated a ranch based near Lund Spring. He employed ranch hands that grew feed and food and raised live stock to support needs of the mining towns. His ranch house was a welcome respite for travelers on the Hamilton-Pioche road.[4] Later, James R. Withington gained ownership of Tom Plane's ranch and built White Pine County's first flour mill at the Tom Plane's spring head.
Lund was settled in 1898 on land that the United States government had given the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) in lieu of land that had been confiscated under the Edmunds–Tucker Act. The first settlers were Latter-day Saints,[5] and the LDS Church still has a ward in Lund.
