Henderson
Henderson sits at the southern rim of
the Las Vegas Valley. At an elevation of 1,940 feet above sea level, the
city is only 7 miles southeast of Las Vegas and about midway between Las
Vegas and Boulder City (home of the Hoover Dam).
Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, Henderson remained a relatively
small factory town. In the early 1980s, the first master planned
community, Green Valley, was plotted. Henderson's population in 1980 was
24,363; by 1990 it had more than doubled, and by the end of the
twentieth century Henderson had reached 175,381. Local estimates project
the 2010 population will reach 310,000 as a steady stream of new
residents and businesses continue to be attracted to the area. By 1999
Henderson overtook Reno as Nevada's second largest city. The city
celebrated its 57 year birthday in 2010. Henderson's unparalleled growth
in the past two decades shows little signs of slowing. It's no wonder
that Nevada's second largest city, with a thriving economy,
master-planned communities, world-class recreation, and proximity to
several of the country's national and man-made treasures, is one of the
fastest-growing cities in the nation.
