Las Vegas, the state’s most populous city, has been the county seat since the county’s establishment. The county was formed by the Nevada Legislature by splitting off a portion of Lincoln County on February 5, 1909.
Much of the county was part of Pah-Ute County, Arizona Territory before Nevada became a state. The county was named for William Andrews Clark, a Montana copper magnate and U.S. Senator. Clark was largely responsible for the construction of the Los Angeles and Salt Lake Railroad through the area, a factor heavily contributing to the region's early development.
