The population was 939 at the 2010 census.HistoryLocated within the Utah Territory before the Nevada Territory was created in 1861, Genoa was first settled by Mormon pioneers. The settlement originated as a trading post called Mormon Station, which served as a respite for travelers on the California Trail.The first white child born in Mormon Station (Genoa, NV) was Jesse R.
