Nevada State Day

The emblem of the state of Nevada, on a yellow background, is written the slogan "Everything for your country."On October 31, 1864, just 8 days before the US presidential election, Nevada became the 36th state in the United States.

Since then, it is on this day that the residents of Nevada celebrate the so-called Nevada Birthday.

By this time, on March 2, 1861, Nevada had seceded from Utah and acquired its own name, shortened from the Sierra Nevada.

Nevada’s mining economy was closely linked to the more industrialized Union, which politically justified Nevada’s admission to the United States.

Nevada joined the United States during the American Civil War.

“The Battle Born State” is Nevada’s official slogan. The state flag bears the inscription “Battle Born.”

Nevada is the fastest growing state in the United States. Between 1990 and 2000, Nevada’s population increased by 66.3 percent (13.1 percent in the U.S. over the years).

Every year on October 31, residents of the state hold the famous Nevadin Parade in America, starting from the state capital - Carson City.

They're having fun, dancing, pranks. And, despite the fact that this holiday is not officially recognized as a state holiday, employees of banks and other government agencies. Institutions prefer not to go to work, but to have fun with everyone from the heart.
