Glendale, Nevada
Glendale is an unincorporated community and former town in Clark County, Nevada, United States. The community is at an elevation of 1,519 feet (463 m).[2] Glendale was settled in 1855.[3] The community was named for the valley in which it is situated.[4] It was formally established as an unincorporated town in 1979.[5] At that time, it consisted entirely of land owned by Charlie Hester, who operated a motel, gas station, and restaurant.[5] The town's population peaked at 36, mainly comprising Hester's family and employees.[5] In 1996, county commissioners approved a plan to redevelop Glendale as a casino resort with 600 hotel rooms, despite objections from residents of nearby Moapa Valley;[6] the project was never realized. The town was dissolved in 2001, because its population had declined to four, making it impossible to fill the five seats on the town board.[5] Glendale later became part of the unincorporated town of Moapa Valley.[7] In 2009, the town boundaries were shifted, making Glendale part of Moapa.[7][8] Notes
