Clark County, County in southern Nevada, United States

Clark County spans 8,061 square miles of desert terrain, with Mount Charleston rising to 11,918 feet and the Colorado River flowing along its southeastern border.

The county formed on July 1, 1909, after splitting from Lincoln County, with Las Vegas designated as the administrative center from its establishment.

The region holds Native American heritage dating back 10,000 years, with Paiute tribes establishing settlements in the area around 700 AD.

The Clark County Commission operates with seven members and employs a county manager to handle daily administrative functions and public services.

Despite occupying only 7 percent of Nevada's total area, Clark County contains 73 percent of the state's population within its boundaries.
