Las Vegas History

The European ancestry is the initial people to enter the Las Vegas valley was Rafael Rivera, who scouted the area in 1821 as part of Antonio Armijo expedition to open up a trade route, the Old Spanish Trail between New Mexico and California. A young Mexican scout named Rafael Rivera is credited as the first non Native American to encounter the valley, in 1829. Las Vegas's historic core lies at a site once occupied by marshes, freshwater springs, and grassy meadows Surrounded by mountains, the Las Vegas Valley is a basin that collects the scant rainwater and snowmelt that reach it. From the early 1900s Nevada was known as a place where unhappy couples could get a relatively quick divorce. Las Vegas embraced the concept of an even quicker marriage, with no blood tests or waiting periods. The Strip's first wedding chapel, the Little Church of th eWest, opened in 1942. Nevada outlawed gambling in 1910 but the practice continued in speakeasies and illicit casinos. By the time gambling was legalised again in 1931, organised crime already had roots in the city. The city is known as The Entertainment Capital of the World, and is famous for its mega casino hotels and associated activities. African Americans arrived in the 19th century, most of them as cowboys and seasonal ranch workers, and their numbers grew in the years during and after World War II, when many were stationed in the area for military service or arrived to work in defense related industries. Agriculture formed the basis of the Las Vegas economy from the mid-19th to the early 20th century.
