As a matter of historical and cultural significance, the Old Las Vegas Mormon Fort was the first settlement in the area by anyone of European descent. Mormon missionaries located a site near the Las Vegas Springs in 1855, and it became the mid-point along the trail from Salt Lake City to Los Angeles. The Mormons' stay, however, was cut short with the beginning of the Utah War. The fort was abandoned, and subsquently used by both the military and, later, private interests. Currently it has been restored and is a state park.
