Nevada (in English: Nevada) is a state located in the western parts of the United States. Known for the ease of marriage, the legalization of gambling, and (in some counties) prostitution. It has some of the strictest laws against drugs. The state capital is Carson City, and the largest city is Las Vegas.
Nevada’s official nickname is the “Silver State” because of the large deposits of silver discovered and developed there. Its motto is “All for Our Country”. Since 1867, it has been the thirty-sixth state of the United States. It has a population of 2,890,845 (2015), of which over 85% live in the cities of Las Vegas and Reno.

The state is named after the Sierra Nevada mountain range, and the word Nevada itself means “snowfall, cover with snow” in Spanish. The terrain is mountainous and desert.
Geography
It borders the states of Oregon and Idaho to the north, California to the west and south, and Utah and Arizona to the east. It encompasses the Mojave Desert to the south and most of the Great Valley to the north.

The first Europeans to set foot on these lands in 1776 were the Spaniards. Francisco Garces discovered these places while searching for a route between California and New Mexico. John Charles Fremont made many expeditions and was the first to map these lands.
Until 1848, Nevada was part of Mexico. The US conquered it in the Mexican-American War.
