History of Henderson
During the Second World War before Henderson, Nevada was officially incorporated in 1953, it was the major supplier of magnesium, the so-called miracle metal which made it possible for U.S. and its associate countries win the war. The production of this metal helped the country make combustible casings of armaments and the different parts, frames, and engines of airplanes. After the war, the workers from the manufacturing plant and other families transferred to other places. As a result, the township was offered for sale as surplus property from the war.
Legislators decided to save the city and all agreed to authorize the purchase of industrial facilities by the Colorado River Commission of Nevada. Dr. Jim French became Henderson’s first mayor in 1953 following incorporation. The city became one of the most promising areas in Nevada with its comprehensive long-term plan as a residential area and continuing business development strategies. It turned out to be one of the country’s most progressive and self-motivated communities today.
