Henderson, Nevada
Henderson was actually "born in America's defense" ten
years prior to its incorporation during World War II
with the building of the Basic Magnesium Plant. The
plant supplied the US War Department with magnesium for
munitions and airplane parts. Mayor Jim Gibson's own
grandfather, Fred Gibson, was one of the original
engineers sent to Great Britain to learn the secret of
creating the "miracle metal" which would eventually help
the United States and the allies win the war. With the
help of local industry, the City of Henderson, Nevada,
was officially incorporated on April 16, 1953. |
On May 23, 1953,
Henderson, with its population of 7,410, elected Dr. Jim French
as the town's first Mayor. Originally about 13 square miles in
size, the City quickly began to grow and flourish. Today, the
City of Henderson has grown to more than 95 square miles and is
the second largest city in Nevada. Henderson is often described
as having small town values with big city efficiencies. The
city's official slogan "Henderson—a Place to Call Home" reflects
a community that enjoys small town values while benefiting from
big city efficiencies.
