Realty One Group/ Barbara Murphy/ Welcome to Las Vegas
The first settlement in Las Vegas (which is Spanish for “The
Meadows”) was recorded back in the early 1850s when the Mormon Church, headed by Brigham Young, sent a mission of thirty
men to construct a fort and teach agriculture to the Indians. Las Vegas became a city in 1905 when the railroad announced
this city was to be a major division point. Prior to legalized gambling in 1931, Las Vegas was developing as an agricultural
area. Las Vegas’ fame as a resort area became prominent after World War II.
Las Vegas has now become the most liveable
and sought after desert paradise in the Western part of the United States. It is situated in the Southerly most portion
