Eight days before the presidential election of 1864, Nevada became the 36th state in the union. Hello Carson City and welcome to Friday, Nevada Day, Oct. 26, 2018. Today is the observed state holiday, where businesses are open but state and local government offices and schools are closed. Meanwhile, the capital city itself is getting warmed up for a three-day weekend and famed parade that celebrates statehood.

To read part one, click here. After a battle with Utah Mormons, new prospectors, and a vigilante committee, Nevada finally won its right to be an official U.S. territory in 1861, most likely due to the fact that the Comstock Lode was discovered in 1859, and supplied the Union with much needed gold and silver deposits.

Early voting has begun in Carson City and residents are turning out in numbers to do their civic duty.

The greatest day of the year is close at hand: Nevada Day. The day in which the capitol of Nevada, Carson City, practically shuts down to celebrate our statehood, which took place on October 31, 1864.

While the majority of the United States don’t celebrate their Statehood, those that do participate don’t have quite the same gusto for the celebration that Carson City does.

We have long supported increasing diversity in energy supplies via economic development of renewables. But the mandates proposed by Question 6 are a big mistake and we strongly counsel voting against it.
