Las Vegas, 1909 & 1910
On July 1, 1909 Clark County was formed from the southern portion of Lincoln County. On March 16, 1911 a legislative bill was signed incorporating Las Vegas, which provided for a mayor and a board of four county commissioners. This board became responsible for a number of small school districts in Clark County, and for the formation of new ones, and the abolishment or consolidation of others.
