    State of Nevada

    The presence of Nevada's earliest inhabitants, beginning about 12,400 years ago, is marked by many petroglyphs and archaeological sites. Baskets, decoys, and ingenious traps are evidence of the resourcefulness of these early people in a harsh and arid environment. European explorers traveled through Nevada in the early 19th century, but it was not until 1851 that the first settlements were established. An Act of Congress created the Territory of Nevada on March 2, 1861. James W. Nye of New York was appointed Nevada's first Territorial Governor by President Abraham Lincoln later that year. On October 31, 1864, President Lincoln proclaimed Nevada's admission to the Union as the 36th state. The State's first elected Governor, Henry Blasdel, took office on December 5, 1864. Today, Nevada is the nation's seventh largest state in land area. Several hundred mountain ranges cross its landscape, many with elevations over 10,000 feet. In contrast, the State's lowest point (along the Colorado River) is only 470 feet above sea level. From majestic mountains to desert valleys, nature has endowed Nevada with diverse and unique ecosystems. The Nevada Legislature has honored the State's natural resources and cultural heritage with a variety of State designations described below.

    STATE OF THE STATE ADDRESS
    The State of Nevada, encompassing over
    110,000 square miles, is a land of vast natural
    beauty, economic diversity, and cultural
    vibrancy. Known as the "Silver State" for its
    historic mining legacy, Nevada today is equally
    recognized for its dynamic cities, rugged
    outdoor landscapes, and spirit of independence.
    Anchored by metropolitan hubs like Las Vegas
    and Reno, Nevada also offers a rich tapestry of
    rural communities, tribal lands, and open desert
    that reflect its deep Western roots.
    Home to more than 3.2 million residents,
    Nevada is one of the fastest-growing states in
    the nation. The state features no personal
    income tax, a favorable business climate, and
    year-round recreational opportunities-from
    world-class entertainment and dining to hiking,
    skiing, and stargazing beneath some of the
    clearest night skies in the U.S.
    With over 300 days of sunshine annually in
    many regions, Nevada's climate ranges from the
    dry heat of the Mojave Desert to the four-
    season beauty of the Sierra Nevada. The state is
    also home to Lake Tahoe, Great Basin National
    Park, Red Rock Canyon, and more than 800,000
    acres of state park land.
    Nevada balances innovation and tradition,
    offering a high quality of life, a growing
    emphasis on sustainability and technology, and
    a commitment to preserving the natural and
    cultural richness that makes the state truly one
    of a kind.
