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.
