Here is a brief introduction to the state of Nevada.

Capital City: Carson City
Nicknames: Sagebrush State, Silver 1 State, Battle Born State

Population over 2.2 million residents

State’s Flag: Nevada’s flag, adopted in 1929, displays a silver star. Above the star, the words “Battle Born” allude to the state’s admission during the Civil War.  

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 anyone city, more ghost towns than anywhere else, and the biggest herd of wild mustangs.

Although it is Spanish for “snow-clad,” Nevada’s name conjures images of glittering gambling casinos and arid deserts. Yet the moniker is well deserved. Nevada is filled with mountaintops, many of them cloaked in white in wintertime. There are 150 mountain ranges in the state, with 31 peaks soaring above the 11,000-foot level. Nevada’s alpine topography is just one of the many surprises in this Great Basin state.

Humans have been calling Nevada home since at least 12,000 years ago, when the first Paleo-Indian hunters followed mammoths here. Among the later groups to live within its borders were the Mohave, Paiute, Shoshone, and Washo Indians. Probably because of the harsh climate and terrain, Nevada was the last of the Lower 48 states to be explored by Europeans. It wasn’t until 1776 that Franciscan priests came seeking a southern route to connect the Spanish settlements in New Mexico with those in California. They were followed 50 years later by Canadian trader Peter Skene Ogden, who traveled over the northern boundary of the state and in 1828 discovered the Humboldt River. Additional trails were blazed across the central and southern part of Nevada around the same time by American explorer and fur trader Jedediah Smith and American fur trapper Joseph Walker. The trails were heavily used by pioneers making their way to the gold mines in California. The first permanent settlement in Nevada was Mormon Station (known today as Genoa), located in the Carson Valley.

In 1848 United States gains Nevada after Mexican War. In 1849 Mormon Station (later called Genoa) becomes Nevada’s first white settlement. In 1861 Nevada Territory is founded. In 1864 Nevada joins the Union as 36^th state. In 1873 Federal government limits use of silver in coins; mining industry begins to wane. In 1900 Nevada’s mining industry is revived when silver, gold, and copper are discovered in several locations. In 1909 State makes gambling illegal. In 1931 State legalizes gambling and reduces residency requirement for divorce to six weeks. In 1980 Antipollution laws are passed to protect Lake Tahoe. In 1986 Great Basin National Park, First in state, is established. In 1990s the resort economy of Las Vegas built several huge casinos that used ancient Egyptian, medieval, and jungle themes to attract the public.
