Enterprise, NV - History


We would like to provide the residents of  Enterprise  a basic history overview.


Welcome to the Enterprise Home page. The Enterprise Home page provides as much information as possible on Enterprise. Knowing Enterprise’s history is essential to guiding its future. Within Enterprise’s Home page, you will also find Enterprise’s Founders, Holiday, and Birthday sections.

Enterprise has a population of 214591. 49.7% of Enterprise’s inhabitants are Male, and 50.3 are female. 46.4% of Enterprise is married and 59.8% own their own home. The Average Home price is $325,495, and the average rent is $1,447. Household median income in Enterprise is $80,133, and the individual median income is $39,739. Enterprise’s Ethnic is the following: White(51.8%), Asian(21.4%), Hispanic(19.8%), Black(11%), Multiple(8%), Other(6.1%), Pacific(1%), Native(0.6%).


The first inhabitants were the Paiute Indians, who were spread across the Las Vegas Valley. In 1905, the railroad town of Arden was formed for miners who worked at the nearby gypsum mines just west of the area. The area was part of Lincoln County until 1909, when Clark County was split off from Lincoln County.


The oldest structure in the area is a water tower, which was built in 1926.References to the area as "Enterprise" date back to at least 1918, when county commissioners established an Enterprise school district. According to one historian, the word may simply have been chosen at that time as a positive-sounding name.On April 21, 1958, United Airlines Flight 736 and an Air Force jet collided into each other, causing 49 fatalities.


The airliner crash site in 1958 was empty desert scrubland, but today commercial development near the intersection of South Decatur Boulevard and West Cactus Avenue, adjacent to the community of Southern Highlands, has encroached on the site. In 1999 a small metal cross was put up by the son of a victim as a memorial to the lives lost.Enterprise was formed as an unincorporated town on December 17, 1996, in response to a petition from residents who hoped it would help preserve the community's semi-rural identity.


This was made to prevent annexation by nearby Henderson. Immediately afterwards, Clark County commissioners voted to annex about five square miles of land into neighboring Spring Valley that included the master-planned community of Rhodes Ranch and a regional park. The annexation plan was developed by commissioner Erin Kenny.


The vote was almost unanimous, with the sole exception of Bruce L. Woodbury voting against annexation. The chairwoman of the county commission, Yvonne Atkinson Gates, was against the annexation, but voted for annexation anyway because she wanted to recall the situation after the next advisory board meeting in January 1997.


Residents, both governmental and non-governmental, opposed the annexation because they had no say in the vote.On January 19, 1999, an interlocal agreement was approved by the Clark County Commission and the Henderson City Council to annex about 5,000 to 6,000 acres of land into the City of Henderson, with most of the land belonging to the Bureau of Land Management southwest of the master-planned community of Anthem, but also including 1,400 acres that were part of Enterprise.


The city wanted to annex land so it could have an exit on Interstate 15 (specifically the Sloan exit ), and so they could maintain Lake Mead Drive (now St. Rose Parkway). Residents of Enterprise did not approve of the annexation plan because they wanted to preserve their rural lifestyle. County commissioners told some residents that the county could not stop Henderson from annexing a piece of their town, and said that the interlocal agreement was the best they could do.


This agreement stopped Henderson from annexing section 33 (which was a heavily populated section of Enterprise), and instead annex sections 26 and 34, which were, at the time, undeveloped.
