City of Henderson
Show moreLocated in Clark County Nevada, just minutes from the famous Las Vegas Strip, Henderson is known as a community of small-town values with big-city amenities. Henderson’s origins are rooted in World War II, when it was the primary supplier of magnesium used in the manufacture of munitions and airplane parts, and the community grew ostensibly overnight to house more than 14,000 workers. Henderson was incorporated in 1953 and remained a relatively small industrial town until the early 1980s when the first master-planned community, Green Valley, was introduced. Today, more than 314,000 residents call Henderson home and the city has been consistently ranked one of the fastest growing communities in the nation (Forbes) with 500-800 new residents arriving each month.
Henderson is the largest full-service city in Nevada. Our approximately 2,000 full-time and 1,000 part-time employees deliver the majority of the essential services needed by citizens and businesses, including Police, Fire, and Water/Wastewater Services.
