About Clark County
Clark County is located in the southern part of the state of Nevada. The majority of its residents are concentrated in the Las Vegas across an expansive 435 square miles. As Nevada's most densely populated county, it ranks as the 11th most populous county in the entire United States. Despite covering only 7% of the state's
land area, Clark County accommodates a staggering two-thirds of Nevada's population,... solidifying the state's status as the most centralized in the nation.
Established in 1909, Clark County derives its name from Sen. William Andrews Clark, the visionary behind the railroad that interconnected Los Angeles and Salt Lake City. The founding of Las Vegas in 1905 can be attributed to Clark's railroad, which, after making stops in the area, procured land for a town site and initiated the sale of lots through auctions, giving rise to downtown Las Vegas.
Committed to enhancing the quality of life for its over 2 million residents, Clark County offers an array of regional services countywide. These services include the management of the nation's 7th-busiest airport and the state's largest public hospital, University Medical Center.
The county includes several cities such as Boulder City, Henderson, Las Vegas, Mesquite, and North Las Vegas. Additionally, it encompasses various unincorporated communities like Arden, Cactus Springs, Cottonwood Cove, Coyote Springs, Crystal, Fort Mojave Indian Reservation, Glendale, Jean, Logandale, Las Vegas Indian Colony, Moapa River Indian Reservation, Mountain Springs, Overton, Primm, Roach, Sloan, Summerlin, Sutor, and Vegas Creek.
