Dresslerville, also known as Dresslerville Colony, is an unincorporated area in Nevada that is home to a Washoe tribe community. It was named for Nevada state senator William F. Dressler who donated a 40-acre tract to the Washoe tribe.[1] US Route 395 runs nearby and a historical marker commemorates the area's history. A school opened in the area in 1924.[2] The community is along the East Fork Carson River.[3]
The Dressleeville Colony is the largest Washoe community in population with 348 members as of 1991.[4] It is located on in Gardnerville near the Gardnerville Ranchos. Most of the tribe's public buildings are here including a community center, gymnasium, and park. There are five community representatives.[5]
