Henderson is a city in Clark County, Nevada, United States, about 16 miles (26 km) southeast of downtown Las Vegas. It is the 2nd most populous city in Nevada, after Las Vegas, with an estimated population of 320,189 in 2019. The city is part of the Las Vegas Valley.
Although the region is dominated by Las Vegas, Henderson has a distinct culture, large advanced manufacturing and informational technology sectors and a city government with distinct priorities from its neighbor.
Incorporated in 1953, Henderson was originally known for its role in magnesium production during World War II.[3] Since then, it has grown rapidly through the development of master planned communities starting with the large Green Valley neighborhood,[4][5] redevelopment and reinvestment in residential, commericial, and industrial infrastructure after the PEPCON Disaster,[6] and the city government's historically proactive planning and management.[7]
History
[edit]Henderson originated in the 1940s with the construction of the Basic Magnesium Plant, a significant producer of magnesium for the U.S. military during World War II, used to create incendiary munitions and various airplane components. At its peak, the plant supplied a significant portion of the magnesium used by the United States and required a substantial amount of electricity, drawn from the Hoover Dam.
During this period, the area was referred to as the Basic town-site, named after the plant that employed the overwhelming majority of the community. In 1942, Basic High School was established at the site of the current city hall building in the Water Street District, becoming the second high school founded in the valley. Although an unincorporated community dominated by the magnesium plant, it began to build it's own identity.
At the conclusion of World War II, the demand for magnesium declined. By 1947, production had largely stopped and many of the 14,000 employees of the now expanded Black Mountain Industrial Complex left the area. Schools saw a two-thirds drop in enrollment and more than half of the town's housing units were vacated. The U.S. War Assets Administration placed the area on the market for sale as a surplus government property.
On April 16, 1953, Henderson was officially incorporated by the Nevada Legislature, supported in part by the industry that had remained. With a population of 7,410 the newly formed city elected its first mayor, Dr. Jim French, on May 23, 1953. Initially measuring about 13 square miles (34 km²), Henderson expanded over the following decades to more than 100 square miles (260 km²) by 2022.
Over the coming decades, the city would grow as more people from the eastern United States left for the Sunbelt.
Ammonium perchlorate factory fire
[edit]On May 4, 1988, the Pacific Engineering and Production Company of Nevada (PEPCON) chemical plant experienced a catastrophic fire and series of explosions. The facility was one of only two in the United States producing ammonium perchlorate, a key component in solid rocket fuel.[8]
The disaster resulted in two fatalities, injured over 300 individuals, and caused extensive damage throughout the Las Vegas Valley.[9] The explosions were so powerful that they registered seismic activity equivalent to a 3.5 magnitude earthquake and were felt up to 10 miles away.[8]
The incident led to significant changes in industrial safety regulations and emergency response protocols in the region.[10] In the aftermath, PEPCON ceased operations in Henderson, and the site was eventually redeveloped for commercial use.[8]
Geography
[edit]
Henderson is about 16 miles (26 km) southeast of downtown Las Vegas.[11]

The McCullough Range is closest to the city; most of this range is covered by black rocks from a volcanic explosion millions of years ago. These mountains reach an average height of about 3,800 feet (1,200 m). Black Mountain, at an elevation of 5,086 feet (1,550 m)[13] is visually prominent along the southwestern border of the city, with several neighborhoods built on its foothills.
The city is located in the Mojave Desert, an arid environment known for its extreme climate, sparse vegetation and unique wildlife. Notable vegetation includes Joshua tree
Lake Mead National Recreation Area and the Hoover Dam border the city to the east. To the south west, the Sloan Canyon National Conservation Area features petroglyphs and rugged desert landscapes.

Creating the momentum for Henderson's metamorphosis has been the development of Green Valley. Its origins lie in the land acquisitions of Las Vegas Sun editor Hank Greenspun in the southeastern portion of the valley, west of Henderson. Between 1956 and 1971, he bought eight thousand acres of land with the intention of bringing in large developers to build residential communities that the City of Henderson would eventually annex...Green Valley grew simultaneously with Spring Valley and sooner than Summerlin. Of course, it needed help. Fine convinced county commissioners to rename Lamb Boulevard Green Valley Parkway, which he connected to Patrick Lane.
