| About Nevada
- Nevada is a state located in the western United
States. It is bordered by Utah,
Arizona, California,
and Oregon and Idaho.
Nevada was made famous by the discovery of the Comstock
Lode, the richest known U.S.
silver deposit, in 1859, and its mines have produced
large quantities of gold, silver, copper, lead, zinc,
mercury, barite, and tungsten. Oil was discovered in
1954. Gold now far exceeds all other minerals in value
of production. In 1931, the state created two industries,
divorce and gambling. For many years, Reno
and Las Vegas were the
“divorce capitals of the nation.” More liberal divorce
laws in many states have ended this distinction, but
Nevada is still the gambling capital of the U.S.
and a leading entertainment center.
