Hazen is an unincorporated community in Churchill County, Nevada, United States, about {{convert|12|mi}} southeast of Fernley and {{convert|16|mi}} northwest of Fallon, on U.S. Route 50 Alternate.[1]

Hazen was founded in 1903 as a station on the Southern Pacific Railroad.[2] Some sources say the town was first settled in 1869, but it doesn't appear on maps until 1903.[2][3] The community was named for William Babcock Hazen, an aide to William Tecumseh Sherman.[4] At one time Hazen had a post office, which was established in 1904.[2][5] Hazen's early economy was driven by railroad workers and canal and dam builders, who patronized the town's saloons and brothels.[2]

Hazen is noted for the being the historic site of the last lynching in Nevada. At 2:30am on Feb. 27, 1905, around 30 men broke Red out of jail and hanged Red Wood, AKA Nevada Red, from a telegraph pole 30 feet away.[6]

The Hazen Store is listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP).[2] It "almost defies architectural description" according to the NRHP nomination form.[2]

Vulcan Power Company started a permitting process to drill exploratory geothermal energy wells on land leases near Hazen. The project involves a bypass road across Bureau of Reclamation property.[7][8]

The Hawthorne Army Depot is connected to the Union Pacific rail network by a {{convert|120|mi|adj=on}} single rail line beginning in Hazen.[9]
