How did Nevada get its name: Nevada's name comes from the Sierra Nevada mountain range. It's a Spanish word that means “snow-covered.” Although the state is mostly desert, it's also home to high mountain ranges that are covered in snow for at least half the year. Locals use terms like The Sagebrush State, The Silver State, and The Battle Born State as nicknames for Nevada.
Nevada is the number one producer of gold in the United States. It's second only to South Africa in the world.
The Hoover Dam is the largest public works project in the history of the United States. It's made of 3.25 million cubic yards of concrete, enough to build a highway from San Francisco (on the west coast) to New York City (on the east coast)! Hard hats were invented specifically for workers on the Hoover Dam.
While Samuel Clemens took the penname "Mark Twain" as a reporter working for the "Territorial Enterprise," he began his writing career as a reporter in the Midwest some years before moving to Virginia City in 1862.
