Nevada - The Silverstate
Nevada, also called "The Silver State", comes
from the word origin of Spanish origin and was derived from
the word nieve, which means snow in Spanish. The
name refers to the snow-capped mountain peaks of the Sierra
Nevada. Carson City was chosen as the capital. With 286,351
kmē and approximately 2.7 million inhabitants, Nevada is the
seventh largest state of all states.
The History of Nevada
Nevada borders Idaho and Oregon to the north, California
to the west, Arizona to the southeast and Utah to the east.
The Nevada area originally belonged to Mexico. It was only
with the Guadalupe Hidalgo peace treaty that ended the
Mexican-American War from 1846 to 1848 that Mexico had to
cede the area to the United States. All areas ceded by
Mexico were merged into the Utah Territory in 1850, where
the current states of Utah, Colorado and Nevada can be
found.
Large gold and silver deposits were soon found near
Virginia City and attracted many gold prospectors and
traders to the region. Hence the nickname "Silver State". In
addition to South Africa and Australia, Nevada has the
largest gold deposits in the world. In 1861 Nevada broke
away from the Utah territory and took on the current name.
As the 36th state, Nevada was incorporated into the United
States in 1864.
Geography and climate
Nevada is largely a country with deserts or a
desert-like, dry and hot climate. In summer it gets very hot
with well over 30 degrees Celsius. Winters are relatively
mild with a daily temperature of around 10 degrees Celsius,
but at night it can cool down to minus 8 degrees Celsius.
In the middle and in the north, Nevada is crossed by wide
long valleys. The Great Basin occupies most of Nevada. The
Great Basin is a steppe-like landscape with stone and sand
deserts and mostly dry water courses and salt lakes
(including the Great Salt Lake, Utah Lake, Pyramid Lake)
crossed by mountain islands and canyons. The sparse
vegetation is mostly dominated by sagebrush bushes, pine and
juniper trees.
The "Closed Areas" of Nevada
For the military, large areas in Nevada were captured as
a restricted military area. Particularly noteworthy is the
Nellis Range in the south, where the Nevada Test Site, one
of the largest military test sites in the world, has carried
out many above- and underground nuclear tests. Area 51, a
restricted area for secret military missiles, is also world
famous. The borders of the restricted area are closely
guarded, and unlawful entry into the restricted area is
answered with the use of firearms by the military.
Attractions / leisure opportunities
Nevada offers tourists many attractive offers. Above all,
the gaming city of Las Vegas, known for its countless
casinos. With the legalization of gambling in Nevada in
1931, the city experienced a surge. The Hoover Dam with its
reservoir, Lake Mead, is also located here and attracts a
large number of tourists every year. For hunting
enthusiasts, the largest hunting fair in the United States
takes place in Reno every year. Lake Mead and the smaller
Lake Mohave offer a range of water activities. There you can
also rent boats or canoes. Campsites, but not free of
charge, provide accommodation here, and picnic areas are
also provided.
Desert landscape dominates
The surrounding area is dominated by a desert landscape
in which the Mojave Desert (part of the Death Valley, one of
the most hostile areas in the world), the Sonora Desert and
the Great Basin Desert are located. Despite the poor living
conditions, there are a number of interesting animals here,
including snakes, lizards, bats and over 200 species of
birds. Near Boulder City there is a Visitor Center, where
you can get detailed information about the flora and fauna
of the region. Guided hikes are also offered.
Ghost towns
Due to the many gold and silver discoveries in Nevada,
many cities emerged near the sites where the inhabitants
left the villages after the boom in precious metals and
these became ghost towns. Today some of the abandoned places
have become popular destinations. Among other things,
Rhyolite, the city founded in 1904, was once one of the
largest Nevadas. The open air museum and the "Bottle House"
(a house built in 1906 from many thousands of bottles) are
the tourist attractions here. Other ghost towns are Aurora,
Belleville, Belmont, Broken Hills, Carrara, Bonnie Claire or
half-ghost towns like Beatty, Goldfield, Tonopah and Ruth,
this place still has about 400 inhabitants. The gold mining
town of Bodie, which is relatively well preserved thanks to
the low humidity, is on the border with Nevada.
