Unionville is a census-designated place in Pershing County, Nevada, located south of Interstate 80 and just west of State Route 400 on Unionville Road, with the population as of the 2020 census being 27. The town's best years were during the 1870s, when it was an active mining and prospecting town serving the surrounding hilly region. For a brief time, Samuel Langhorne Clemens (better known as Mark Twain) lived there and prospected, but left without having had much success. Currently, the hamlet consists of a single business – a tourist inn – and a few small houses clustered along or near the gravel roadway which permits vehicular ingress and egress. The nearest paved road, an extension of this gravel road, is about 7 miles (11 km) to the east. The nearest services of any sort, other than those available at the inn, are approximately one hour's drive away.
