City of Henderson
Show moreLocated in Clark County Nevada, just minutes from the famous Las Vegas Strip, Henderson is known as a community of small-town values with big-city amenities. Henderson’s origins are rooted in World War II, when it was the primary supplier of magnesium used in the manufacture of munitions and airplane parts, and the community grew ostensibly overnight to house more than 14,000 workers. Henderson was incorporated in 1953 and remained a relatively small industrial town until the early 1980s when the first master-planned community, Green Valley, was introduced. Today, more than 314,000 residents call Henderson home and the city has been consistently ranked one of the fastest growing communities in the nation (Forbes) with 500-800 new residents arriving each month.
Henderson is the largest full-service city in Nevada. Our approximately 2,000 full-time and 1,000 part-time employees deliver the majority of the essential services needed by citizens and businesses, including Police, Fire, and Water/Wastewater Services. Henderson is nationally known for its stunning parks, trails, master-planned communities, outstanding quality of life, and patriotic past. Henderson is also recognized as one of America’s Best Places to Live (MONEY and Liveability.com), one of America’s Best Cities (Business Week), one of the safest cities in America (Forbes, InsuranceProviders.com, Law Street Media, Movato.com), and a Bicycle Friendly Community (League of American Bicyclists).
The city’s culture is driven by its vision, mission, values, and priorities and is often distinguished for its innovation, progressive leadership, and outstanding services. The city’s mission to “Provide services and resources that enhance the quality of life to those who live, learn, work, and play in our city” emphasizes areas that are strategically important.
