Why are state and government offices closed in Nevada?
LAS VEGAS (FOX5) — Have you ever wondered why state and local government offices close on Nevada Day? Or what does Nevada Day even stand for?
Nevada Day marks the anniversary of the “Battle Born” state being admitted to the Union by Abraham Lincoln on Oct. 31, 1864, during the Civil War, according to a proclamation signed by the governor.
Governor Joe Lombardo signed the proclamation, which continued the tradition to celebrate the rich history and accomplishments of the Silver State, according to the government document.
In observance of Nevada Day, residents should expect the following offices to be closed:
- State Offices
- County Offices
- City Offices
- Clark County School District Offices
- Libraries
- Nevada Division of Insurance
Officials encourage Nevadans to enjoy the festivities offered across the valley in honor of those who helped shape what Nevada is today.
