Nevada is part of the North American continent (about 1.7 billion years old).

It was uplifted west of the Rocky Mountains about 80 million years ago, having previously been tectonically active during the Late Devonian, about 380 million years ago.

Nevada, the US state, was formed from the western Utah Territory. The Nevada Territory was created in 1861 and the state joined the Union on October 31, 1864.
