Oreana is a ghost town in Pershing County, Nevada, United States.

[1] Oreana was a milling town from 1865-1885[1] and should not be confused with Oreana Station[2] located 3 miles to the northeast on what was initially the Central Pacific Railway.

[6] The name Oreana may come from the "ore" plus the Greek "ana", which means "greatly" or "excessively".

The name could also be a corruption of the Spanish "orejano", meaning "unbranded".
