History Las Vegas

Spanish traders en route to Los Angeles along the Spanish Trail in the early 1700s sought a route that would pass through the then unexplored Las Vegas Valley. At the time, the Spaniards referred to the route through the valley as "jornada de muerte," journey of death. A young scout named Rafael Rivera was the first person of European ancestry to look upon the valley. His discovery of a valley with abundant wild grasses growing and a plentiful water supply reduced the journey by several days. The valley was named Las Vegas, Spanish for "The Meadows." 
It was not until famed explorer Captain John Fremont wrote of Las Vegas in 1844, that anyone other than Spanish explorers and missionaries and the indigenous Indian population, knew of the valley.  See for more the City of Las Vegas website
