1. History
Henderson was officially founded in 1941, but its history actually dates back much further than that. The area was originally settled by the Anasazi people over 10,000 years ago, and was later inhabited by the Paiute tribe. In the late 1800s, explorers discovered a rich vein of magnesium-laden ore in the nearby mountains, and the town of Henderson was born.
Water Street was one of the first areas to be developed in Henderson. In the early 1900s, it was the main street of the town, and was home to a variety of shops, restaurants, and businesses. Today, Water Street is a thriving hub of activity, with a vibrant arts scene, numerous festivals and events throughout the year, and plenty of opportunities to shop, dine, and relax.
