Bunkerville

   Located near the Utah border, Bunkerville is in the north-eastern corner of Clark County. Edward Bunker initially moved his family to the site as a communal project. The small community was settled in 1877 as a Mormon colony. It is believed that Brigham Young named the town in honor of Edward Bunker's large polygamous family. 

    While Education in the Neon Shadow features a section on Bunkerville, not all of the Archive Committee's collection fit into the publication.
