  • United States information: Nevada

    Two years after the arrival of the Mormon pioneers in the Salt Lake Valley, Church leaders petitioned the U.S. government for recognition as a state or for territorial status. The State of Deseret, as envisioned by Church leaders, took in most of Nevada. On 9 September 1850, U.S. President Millard Fillmore signed an act creating the Utah Territory, much smaller than the state of Deseret, but still encompassing most of present-day Nevada. Nevada was part of the Utah Territory until it became its own territory in 1861.
