Nevada Overview
Nevada, a mountain State of the Western

the Union in 1864 as the 36th State. Nickname: The
Silver State. Check searchforpublicschools for public primary and high schools in Nevada.
Although the population has almost doubled since 1950, Nevada is
sparsely populated. Ca. 2/3 of the population
is concentrated in the city of Las Vegas in the southeast, the rest
mainly in Reno and Carson City in the west.
The rapid urban growth is due, among other things, to a pervasive
tourism that began with new laws of 1931 that legalized gambling and
contained liberal provisions for marriages, divorces, liquor grants
and prostitution. Today, most of the state's revenue comes from
gaming casinos and tourism; other income comes from from the federal
authorities, which, with the construction of military bases and the
nuclear test site Nevada Test Site, have been an important driver of
development after World War II.
Like mining, agriculture has lost importance, although both
cattle and sheep breeding as well as the yields of fodder crops and
vegetables have grown in line with the use of irrigation. The
industry is mainly located in the Las Vegas suburb of Henderson,
which has a large production of chemicals in addition to the
metallurgical industry, based on local ores (copper, iron,
manganese, etc.). Other mining products are gold and mercury.
Ca. 10% of the land is cultivated or grazed, while 85% is owned
and managed by the federal state (Native American reserves, military
areas, natural parks, forests). The landscape is part of the Great
Basin and is characterized by desert-like highlands separated by
steep north-south-walking mountain ranges. Popular excursion
destinations are Lake Mead and Lake Tahoe in addition to the
limestone caves Lehman Caves in the Great Basin National Park. The
climate is dry and continental with hot summers and cold winters.
The area was inhabited by paiute - and Shoshone Indians, since
Spain in the 1700s. and Mexico of 1821 claimed it. It was
surrendered to the United States after the Mexican-American
War 1846-48 and was part of Utah Territory in 1850-61. The first
permanent settlement was founded by Mormons in 1851. In 1859 large
silver finds were made near Virginia City.
