The city incorporated in 2001; prior to that it was a census-designated place (CDP). The population of the CDP was 8,543 at the 2000 census; the city itself had an estimated population of 12,673 in 2007, almost all of whom lived in Lyon County. In recent years Fernley has seen rapid growth and as of 2006 is the fastest-growing city in Nevada, partly because of investments from Seattle[citation needed]. Its location approximately 30 miles (48 km) east of the Reno-Sparks area and its affordable housing relative to the rest of the metro area[citation needed] have been responsible for the building boom. Fernley is home to a large Amazon.com fulfillment center.
