National Nevada Day
We recognize each state in the order they entered the union, beginning with Hawaii and ending with Hawaii on Independence Day. We feature a small part of each state's past, foods, and the people who make up the state. There's so much more to discover, we can't help but celebrate our beautiful country even more.
Nevada became the only other state to be granted statehood during the Civil War on October 31, 1864.
Trees are almost devoid of trees in the majority of the desert landscape. The state of Texas transforms quickly, with wide open spaces, dramatic gorges, majestic mountains, and windswept rock formations.
Nevada may have once been the loneliest state, but it is home to the country's loneliest highway. The population increased dramatically after the discovery of silver in 1859 by Comstock Lode in 1859. Nevada did not have the 60,000 to be granted statehood by 1864, when the state was admitted to the union, and didn't have the necessary residents until 1880. According to the US Census Bureau, it will even decline population and not reach the qualifying figures again until 1910.
Nevada, whether you like it or not, was the first state to vote for the 13th Amendment that abolished slavery.
Nevada wasn't lonely for long. In 1905, two railroads connected in 1905 and established Las Vegas, which first platted in 1910. The population exploded when two railroads connected in 1905 and established a town called Las Vegas. It will be 30 years before the first resort opens. Casinos and glamour will soon follow, with casinos and glamour.
Hoover Dam was built as the casinos began to sprout, as the casinos began to sprout. The dam on the Colorado River, which was previously known as Boulder Dam, provides hydropower to Nevada, Arizona, and California.
National Parks make up the majority of the state, providing some of the best opportunities for stargazing anywhere. Perhaps that's why Area 51 gets so much attention and mystery. Well, who are we kidding?
