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.

State of Nevada
Show moreThe 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.
