Las Vegas Valley Geology:
For millions of years a great inland sea covered Southern Nevada and then receded, revealing fire-colored oxidized minerals embedded in gray limestone along with blood-red sandstone.
In a cataclysmic event known as a fault thrust 65 million years ago, two crustal plates collided with such force that one was shoved over the other. This created the rugged outcroppings of red sandstone and gray limestone seen in many areas of Clark County.
Las Vegas History:
In the early 1700's Rafael Rivera, a Spanish scout for the traders en route to Los Angeles discovered the valley which he called Las Vegas, Spanish for "the meadows".
In 1855, a group of 30 Mormon missionaries built a fort in the Las Vegas Valley.
The discovery of precious metals in the late 19th century lead to the beginning of mining in the Valley.
Farmers moved in as a result of the State Land Act of 1885; sections of land were offered at $1.25 per acre and agriculture was the major industry in the Valley until 1905.
In 1905 the mail railway linking southern California with Salt Lake City was completed. This is the same year that Las Vegas was founded as a city. When Las Vegas was incorporated and adopted its first charter in 1911, the population was approximately 800.
In 1931 gambling was legalized in the State of Nevada and Las Vegas issued six gambling licenses. Also begun in 1931, the construction of the Hoover Dam resulted in a population boom which helped alleviate the effects of the Great Depression.
During the 1940's, World War II brought the defense industry to the Las Vegas Valley because of the availability of water and inexpensive energy.
By 1960 Howard Hughes lead the entry of corporations into an era that changed "gambling" into "gaming". The building of hotel and casino properties became legitimate business.
Between 1985 and 1995, the population of Las Vegas doubled to 368,36; Las Vegas is currently the fastest growing city in the nation!
