Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" church) built many forts in the 1800's throughout the western United States. Forts were common throughout the west as a means of safety and protection from people, animals, and extreme weather. Remember that the west was "wild" and mostly lawless, full of warring native tribes and outlaws. Many of the cities in Utah began as forts or at least had forts as an emergency shelter for their residents.

Why is the Mormon fort important to Nevada?
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.
