Historical and Cultural Overview

For at least 10,000 years, Nevada was inhabited by multiple Native American tribes before the arrival of European explorers. The Spanish were the first Europeans to claim the area, incorporating it as part of New Spain. The territory later became part of Mexico and was ceded to the United States after the Mexican-American War. Nevada was admitted as the 36th state in 1864, during the Civil War.

Key Cities and Economic Overview

Las Vegas, the largest city in Nevada, has a metropolitan population exceeding 2 million. Originally a small desert town, Las Vegas transformed in the early 20th century into the entertainment capital of the U.S., known for its casinos, nightlife, and quick marriages and divorces. Today, the city draws millions of tourists each year for gambling, concerts, and conventions. Famous residents from Las Vegas include tennis legend Andre Agassi and the rock band The Killers.

Outside of Las Vegas, Nevada’s other significant city is Reno, known as “The Biggest Little City in the World.” Nevada is a top producer of gold, making it an economic powerhouse in mining. Tourism dominates Nevada’s economy, with companies like MGM Resorts International and Las Vegas Sands among the largest employers in the state. Johnson Electric is another significant employer.

The climate varies between the northern and southern regions, with long, hot summers and mild winters in the south, and shorter, cooler summers in the north. The average high temperature reaches 90°F in the summer, while winter lows average around 22°F. However, extreme temperatures have ranged from 120°F to -50°F.
