 Welcome to Nevada

NEVADA

Capital City: Carson City 
Nicknames: Sagebrush State, Silver State, Battle Born State
Population, 2005 estimate 2,414,807 residents

State?s Flag: The New Nevada State Flag; cobalt blue background; in upper left quarter is a five-pointed silver star between two sprays of sagebrush crossed to form a half wreath; across the top of wreath is a golden scroll with the words, in black letters "Battle Born" allude to the state?s admission during Civil War. The name "Nevada" is below the star and above the sprays in golden letters. Design modified June 8, 1991, original design approved on March 21, 1929.

Name officially adopted in 1861 when territory was established by Congress; from Spanish meaning snow-capped.

From silver mines to neon signs, from desert scenes to slot machines, Nevada is a place of superlatives. Here in the nation?s seventh-largest state few people live outside the two biggest cities, all rivers flow inland, and the loneliest highway in the country stretches for 300 miles. Nevada boasts America?s lowest average rainfall, the most mountain ranges, the greatest collection of hotel rooms in any other city, more ghost towns than anywhere else, and the biggest herd of wild mustangs.

1851 -- First settlement in dispute -- Genoa, near Carson City, permanently settled by Mormons, then called Mormon Station in Utah Territory. Dayton, also near Carson City, permanently settled by miners and traders, and then called Gold Canyon in Utah Territory.

1854 -- Carson County created as part of Utah Territory.

1861 -- Created as Territory of Nevada on March 2.

1864 -- Admitted as State of Nevada October 31; a state holiday since 1939.
