North Las Vegas, Nevada

Northern America

North Las Vegas is a suburban city in Clark County, Nevada, within the Las Vegas Valley. The 2020 census counted 262,527 residents and the city was incorporated on May 1, 1946. It is the fourth most populous city in Nevada. Paiute Indians were the first known inhabitants of the area, and in the 1860s Conrad Kiel established a ranch near the present intersection of Carey Street and Losee Road. In 1919 a settler named Thomas L. Williams moved his family onto a farm in the valley, drawn by its artesian water and its potential for agriculture. The place grew from these early farms and ranches into one of the largest cities in the Las Vegas area.
