Born in America's defense, to supply magnesium to the efforts of World War II, Henderson was nearly sold as war surplus property when the war ended, as two thirds of the population vacated. For nearly 30 years it struggled from near oblivion.
As Las Vegas grew, it needed more land, and investors set their sights on Henderson, igniting the beginning of master-planned communities in Henderson with Green Valley in the late 70's, to the explosion of many more to come.
Today there are 17 master-planned residential areas in Henderson to include Anthem, Anthem Country Club, Black Mountain Vistas, Calico Ridge, Champion Village, Green Valley, Green Valley Ranch, Inspirada, Lake Las Vegas, MacDonald Highlands, MacDonald Ranch, Madeira Canyon, Seven Hills, Sun City Anthem, Sun City MacDonald Ranch, Tuscany Residential Village, and Whitney Ranch. This expansion has taken Henderson from being its own city to becoming part of the blossoming Greater Las Vegas Metropolitan area.
Without question, Henderson has come to fruition, exemplified by its accolades from Forbes magazine in 2011, ranking it as America's second safest city, and Bloomberg BusinessWeek naming it as "One of the Best Cities to Live in America", then the FBI Uniform Crime Report, ranking it as "One of the Top 10 Safest Cities in the United States".
Residents have a variety of choices for leisure, shopping, dining, and entertainment. Sitting close to the Strip, the largest outdoor amphitheater in Nevada, the largest recreational facility in Nevada - the Multigenerational Facility at Liberty Pointe, and the only scenic Bird Preserve in Nevada, all lend to their choices.
Henderson has been called the city of destiny - some would call it “quite a journey”. Once a city with aspirations, now a city to aspire… come fill your aspirations in Henderson.
