== History ==

The township of Henderson first emerged in the 1940s during World War II with the building of the Basic Magnesium Plant. Henderson quickly became the main supplier of [[magnesium]] in the United States, which was called the "miracle metal" of World War II.<ref>Lelande Quick, Miracle Metal from Nevada Hills, [https://www.scribd.com/doc/2097157/194406DesertMagazine1944June?page=10 Desert Magazine, June 1944], pages 10-13</ref> The plant supplied the [[United States Department of War|US War Department]] with magnesium for incendiary munition casings and airplane engines, frames, and other parts. A quarter of all US wartime magnesium came from the Henderson Plant to strengthen [[aluminum]], using 25% of [[Hoover Dam]]'s power to separate the metal from its ore by [[electrolysis]].<ref name="magnes">Moore, David. [http://www.romanconcrete.com/docs/hooverdam/hooverdam.htm The Hoover Dam: A World Renowned Concrete Monument] ''Roman Concrete'', 1999. Accessed: February 26, 2012.</ref>

Although "born in America's defense", Henderson's future after World War II was uncertain. In 1947, magnesium production was no longer necessary for defense, and most of the Black Mountain Industrial (BMI) Complex's 14,000 employees moved away. Enrollment in the school system was reduced by two thirds, and well over half the townsite houses, built to house plant workers, became vacant. In 1947, the United States War Asset Administration offered Henderson for sale as war surplus property.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.cityofhenderson.com/government/departments/mayor-and-council/our-history |title=Our History &#124; Henderson, NV }}</ref>

With the help of local industry, Henderson was incorporated on April 16, 1953, as the City of Henderson. On May 23, 1953, Henderson, with its population of 7,410, elected Dr. Jim French as the first mayor. Originally only about {{convert|13|sqmi|km2}} in size, the city quickly began to grow, reaching over {{convert|100|sqmi|km2}} in size in 2022.<ref>[https://www.cityofhenderson.com/our-city/about-henderson/history#:~:text=With%20the%20help%20of%20local,began%20to%20grow%20and%20flourish.

On May 4, 1988, the Pacific Engineering and Production Company of Nevada (PEPCON) chemical plant experienced a catastrophic fire and series of explosions.

In 2013, the [[United States Department of Justice|Department of Justice]] (DOJ) announced it had reached a cooperative settlement agreement with the city of Henderson under the [[Americans with Disabilities Act]] (ADA). The DOJ received complaints by individuals who are deaf that officers for the city of Henderson did not provide them with qualified sign language interpreters and other auxiliary aids and services when needed for effective communication. One of the complainants was arrested and detained for two days in the Henderson [[detention facility]], while the other was an alleged [[crime victim]].<ref name="doj-2013">{{cite web|title=Justice Department Reaches Settlement with the City of Henderson, Nev. to Improve Law Enforcement Communications with People Who Are Deaf or Hard of Hearing|url=https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/2013/August/13-crt-881.html|publisher=US Department of Justice|access-date=August 7, 2013|author=Department of Justice Office of Public Affairs|date=August 5, 2013}}</ref><!-- Not the right citation for a press release.. -->

During its investigation into the allegations, the department inquired whether the city of Henderson would be interested in resolving the matter voluntarily. The city expressed its full commitment to ensure compliance with the ADA. Under the settlement, the city of Henderson will pay $35,000 to the complainants. The city agreed to provide [[sign language]] interpreters, usually within an hour of a person's request to law enforcement officers.

The city is served by [[RTC Transit]] (formerly Citizens Area Transit/CAT) with its network of bus routes which run throughout the [[Las Vegas Valley]].

Henderson is served by four major highways: Henderson Black Hills and ([[Nevada State Route 582|State Route 582]]), which is the main thoroughfare connecting with Las Vegas and [[Boulder City, Nevada|Boulder City]]; [[Lake Mead Parkway]] ([[Nevada State Route 564|State Route 564]]); [[Interstate 11 (Nevada)|Interstate 11]] and [[Interstate 215 (Nevada)|Interstate 215]]. [[Nevada State Route 146|State Route 146]], also known as Saint Rose Parkway, connects [[Interstate 15 (Nevada)|Interstate 15]] near [[Sloan, Nevada|Sloan]] with Interstate 215 in Green Valley.
