Why did the native Americans settle into Nevada?
Washoe County's i rst inhabitants may have migrated here from Asia more than 10,000 years ago. Washoe County is named for the Washoe, Native Americans who lived in valleys along the foothills of the Sierra Nevada when Europeans i rst arrived in the area. The Paiute lived in other parts of what is now Washoe County. The i rst European explorers to reach what is now Washoe County arrived in the late 1700s. Spanish missionaries and explorers claimed the area for Spain. Later, Mexico won its independence from Spain and claimed the area that is now Nevada. In the 1840s, more explorers arrived. By this time, settlers from the United States, to the east, were migrating to California and Oregon. In 1848 the United States won a war against Mexico called the Mexican-American War. Much of the Southwest, including Nevada, became a U.S. territory. Meanwhile, Mormons had been moving westward to avoid religious persecution. Many settled in Salt Lake City, Utah. From there, some traveled to Nevada and settled in Washoe County. In 1849, Mormons formed the state of Deseret, which included Utah and most of Nevada. In 1852 a Mormon trader built a trading post near present-day Sparks to provide supplies for wagon trains. After gold was discovered in California in 1848, thousands of people began to pour through Nevada on their way to the goldi elds of California. In 1859 silver was discovered in Carson Valley. Instead of passing through Nevada, many people came to stay, hoping to get rich. Conl icts between settlers and the Paiute took place in the 1850s and 1860s. In 1874 the United States forced the Paiutes to move to Pyramid Lake Reservation. Congress also voted to send the Washoe to a reservation but did not provide any land. The conl icts between Native Americans and settlers did not stop people from moving to Nevada. In fact, hundreds of thousands of settlers moved west during the late 1800s. A great number settled in Nevada and in what is now Washoe County. Although many came to mine, most found other work. Many found work in the timber or ranching industries. In 1864 Nevada became a state. At about the same time, railroads were being built through the area. The i rst railroad in Washoe County was the Central Pacii c. The city of Reno was built around a station for the Central Pacii c. The railroad brought Reno so much business that a decade later, it became the county seat. In the 1930s the tourist industry began to develop. Resorts in Reno, Las Vegas, Laughlin, and Lake Tahoe attracted many tourists. People also moved to Nevada to work on Hoover Dam on the Colorado River. After the dam's completion in 1936, the low cost of electricity brought many factories to the area, creating jobs that encouraged more people to come to Nevada. Today, people can i nd jobs in electronics, information technology, the aerospace industry, tourism, and other industries in Nevada and Washoe County.
