On October 31, 1864, after thousands of years as a sacred home to indigenous people, Nevada became the 36th state to enter the union of the United States of America. Nevada’s 150th anniversary celebration is an opportunity for us to share our history, our culture and our future with each other and with people from around the world. Nevada’s best days are here to come and together we will make this an anniversary we will cherish and remember forever. - [|@Scott4Nevada]

The 150th anniversary of Nevada’s admission to the Union will provide a unique opportunity for celebration and reflection as we come together to commemorate our shared history and build a foundation of cultural appreciation for generations to come. Nevada’s one of a kind and diverse history will be celebrated throughout the state in order to promote pride in the shared heritage of native and non-native Nevadans alike.
 * From the State:**

The event is also an opportunity to showcase the uniqueness of Nevada culture and history, and how it relates to American history and society. The main goal of the yearlong celebration is to instill pride and inspire communities and citizens alike across Nevada to participate and contribute to the sesquicentennial celebration. While parts of Nevada may feel disconnected at times, the sesquicentennial events and projects are going to be aimed at connecting all communities throughout Nevada with the common pride in the shared heritage possessed by all who live and have lived in Nevada. To that end, the Nevada Sesquicentennial Planning Committee has adopted “Battle Born – Nevada Proud” as the theme for the sesquicentennial.

Our Take: Let's become visitors!

How about the great State of "Washoe" or "Esmeralda?" When residents of this territory considered statehood 150 years ago, it took more than one attempt to get them to agree on a name and on how much to tax the lucrative gold and silver mines.
