Nevada

Nevada
Nordamerikansk stat (USA), der består af 90% ørken. Byerne Reno og Las Vegas ligger i Nevada.
Tidligere var Nevada ('The Silver State') kendt for minedrift. I dag er staten mest kendt for saltørkenen, en liberal ægteskabslovgivning samt legalt spil og prostitution.
Historie
Nevada udgjorde en del af det distrikt, Mexico 1848 afstod til USA. Allerede samme år nedsatte mormonerne sig i Genoa ved foden af Sierra Nevada. Men først da man 1849 havde fundet guld og 1859 sølv, kom indvandrerne. 1861 blev Nevada organiseret som territorium og 1864 optaget i unionen som den 36. stat.
