A Spanish explorer named Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo was the first person to explorer the area that would be known as Nevada. Native Americans who lived in Nevada before this were the Koso, Pueblo, and Paiute tribes.

How did Nevada gets its name?

When Utah and Nevada split the territory, the original territorial name of "Sierra Nevada" was shortened to the current name of Nevada, the Spanish word meaning "snowy range", " snow-capped" or "snow-clad." Even though Nevada is the driest state, explorers based its name on the prominent mountains, the Sierra Nevada range. They paid little attention to the weather in other remote parts of the state. Nevada is named after the Sierra Nevada mountain range. The word Nevada is of Spanish origin and means snow-covered or snowy. The mountains of Nevada get a lot of snow every year.
