The History of Henderson, NV

Henderson, NV, had a magnesium plant that closed in the 1920s, creating a mass exodus of its residents. Seeing all of the available housing and not wanting the town to die, Henderson went on the shortlist to be the home to Hoover Dam.

After being granted the contract, Hoover Dam started construction was started. Boulder City was created to provide housing for the dam’s workers, but Boulder City had its drawbacks.

The problem with the housing in Boulder City was that it didn’t have any schools or medical facilities. It made sense for dam workers with families to live in Henderson, Nevada, which had schools and a hospital.

In 1941, the Basic Magnesium plant was revitalized. They built dorms for housing at Lake Mead and Boulder Highway. They were segregated, but many workers from the South flooded the area. Families of workers were housed in Carver Park – now West Las Vegas near Cashman Field.

After Hoover Dam Was Finished

When Hoover Dam was completed, World War II was going strong. A United States munitions plant opened at Black Mountain, utilizing the nearby magnesium and capitalizing on unemployed dam workers. Many of the laid-off dam workers moved straight into jobs at the munitions plant and never left town.

Henderson’s residents voted to make Henderson an incorporated city in 1953. Incorporation meant that Henderson created its own Police and Fire Departments and a City of Henderson court system. The city consisted of 13 square miles and had a population of 7410 residents.

The miles of desert between Las Vegas and Henderson, that section with railroad access became Las Vegas’ industrial area. In the late 1970s, the owner of the Las Vegas Sun Newspaper, Alan Greenspun, started the American Nevada Company. His vision for the city became Green Valley. Link to Green Valley and Green Valley Ranch pages.

The First Master Planned Community In Henderson, Nevada

In the late 1980s and early 1990s, the Las Vegas Strip exploded with implosions and construction. With 2-4 mega-resorts opening each year on and off The Strip, Green Valley became a convenient place to live.

First, construction companies and crews needed houses, and next, hotel employees and their families bought houses. The Strip fueled massive growth.

Henderson’s City Planners anticipated growth but also planned for a slowdown. In 1997, I sold a house in Henderson to a man who was hired to deal with the city’s slowdown. His job didn’t last long because he wasn’t needed.

Since 5000 people a month started relocating to the Las Vegas Valley, the growth has been explosive. Green Valley was the first Master-Planned Community in the Las Vegas Valley. Soon, Henderson implemented flood control plans and built major roads.

Clark County Schools

For the past 20 years, between 2-5 public schools a year opened in Henderson. House after house went up on street after street. Families, retirees, professionals, and college students moved into lovely neighborhoods.

There was so much real estate for sale that people used builder signs, not road signs, to see where they were. It’s very exciting to live in one of the fastest-growing cities in America.

Children living in Henderson homes are a part of the Clark County School District system for public schools. There are currently  37 public elementary schools, 11 public middle schools, and 10 public high schools in Henderson. In fact, many schools are rated as top valley schools.

The above school count didn’t include 22 private schools and 7 universities in those numbers. The proximity to trade schools, colleges, and universities makes commuting minimal to attend higher learning institutions. UNLV is also nearby.

There are so many private schools in the Las Vegas Valley that we wrote a reference page. Link to our Private Schools in Las Vegas and surrounding cities page. We have a public school rating link under “Buyer” in our menu above.

Where to Work In Henderson

The Las Vegas Strip is within 10-20 minutes, so residents enjoy all of the world-class shopping, dining, and entertainment that The Strip offers. Hotels, casinos, and gaming are all major employers for Henderson’s residents because The Strip is close.

Most recently, Henderson West has become home to many major corporate facilities. With the convenient proximity to Reid International Airport, 2021 saw a new Amazon warehouse adding many jobs to the area.

Downtown Las Vegas is 10-15 minutes away. The Las Vegas Strip is 5-10 minutes away. Harry Reid airport is 5-10 minutes away, and because Nevada only has one international customs port of entry, international goods can arrive and be processed immediately.

Adding in the reasonable freight costs, leaving Las Vegas and Henderson along the I-15 corridor to Los Angeles is a great resource.  The newness of Henderson’s infrastructure has tech companies loving their modern fiber optics and tech options.

Las Vegas Raiders

The Raiders NFL team chose Henderson to be the home for their headquarters and practice facility. Their state-of-the-art practice facility, adjacent to the Henderson Executive Airport, opened in 2020. The Raiders and staff occupy numerous luxury Henderson homes, especially ones with views, privacy, and land.

The increased demand for luxury homes increased values in the entire area. Recently, we became sponsors for RaiderLadies.com. The Raider Ladies are a great group of Las Vegas Raiders NFL Fans who are women.

They are about networking with other women, making friends, having fun, and doing good within the community. Their blog magazine is fun, entertaining, and informative. Check them out!

Why Has Southern Nevada Grown Quickly?

Combined, Las Vegas, Henderson, and North Las Vegas have over 180,000 hotel rooms. Statistically, each room means 2.5 jobs in the valley. There is 1 job at the hotel/casino and 1.5 to support each worker and their family.

Adding hotel rooms in the valley in 2020, 2021, and 2023,  Amazon, Google, and the Raiders Football Franchise fueled Henderson’s economic growth.

As a result of this anticipated growth, Fox Business News named Las Vegas the #4 best economic outlook in the country on December 9, 2019. With the pandemic over, it continues to be a reality. Henderson ran out of land to release for growth. In 2024, Land was released to the southeast, connecting to Boulder City. Utilities and flood control are being planned at the moment.

Underground utilities, fiber optics, great tax benefits, and nicely landscaped communities help the Las Vegas Valley be a desirable city. There are jobs, 310 sunny days a year, and an average of 4 inches of rain. We are the Entertainment Capital of the World! We can take advantage of it anytime we want.

Best of all? Beautiful and affordable newer homes. You can have any housing features you want, including building a luxury new home with a city view.
