Nevada is the seventh-largest state by area, with a population of 3,034,392 (U.S. Census Bureau, July 1, 2019). Throughout history, there have been important milestones that helped shape Nevada. Once a Spanish colony, Nevada became a part of the United States with the signing of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo in 1848. Nevada was admitted as a U. S. state in 1864 and was the first state to grant voting rights to African American males after the 15th Amendment to the U. S. Constitution was ratified in 1869. Nevada's early economy relied heavily on gold and silver production but later depended on gambling and nuclear weapons testing in addition to mining.

Today, Nevada's economy has a GDP of $168 billion (Bureau of Economic Analysis, July 1, 2018), which is driven by these top industries: tourism and gaming, logistics, manufacturing, mining, and aerospace. Many of the leading Fortune 500 companies have their headquarters in Nevada, including Park Place Entertainment Corp, Harrah's Entertainment Inc., and MGM MIRAGE, to name a few.
