"snowy," and
ia taken from
the Sierra
N e v a d a s,
those lofty mountains which sep
arate the State from California.
Most of the history of the state
centers in this Western section,
near the Sierras, and it is here
tha't all of Nevada's principal
cities are located.
The first white man to cross
the present state was the Fran.
clscan Monk, Father Gares, whos
made his way across the deserts
to California in 1775. In 1825
Peter 5. Ogden of the Hudson's
Bay company discovered the
Humboldt river, which is some
times called Ogden river after
him.
The next memorable trip
across the state was that by
Fremont in 1843, when he went
to California at the time of the
outbreak of the Mexican war.
It was thuis war which in 1848
resulted in Mexico cedling a large
area to the United States, of
which Nevada was a part. WVhen
this was organized into terri
tories, the Territory of Utah ex
tended to California. The WVest
ern inhabitants, however, were
left to their own resources and
accordingly organized their own
government. Rlesecnting the at
titude of Utah they petitioned
to be annexed to California,
In 1859 the Comstock Lode
was discovered and Nevada hind
its own mining boom, Popula
tion imimedilately grew by leaps
and bioundls alnd ini 1861 Nevada
was formed into a separate ter
ritory. Later, portions of Utah
were added and the lower part
of the state was taken from Ari
zona. Petitions for statehood
were made but It was not until
1864 that Nevada became the
thiirty-sixth state of the Union. .
Though Nevada ranks slith I
In size with its area of 110,00
square miles, It has the smallest
pop~ulation of any of thce 48
states. Between 1800 and 1900
there was a marked decrease in
the population due to the falling
off of mining industry.
