As of the 2010 census it had a population of 216,961, with an estimated population of 251,974 in 2019. The city was incorporated upon May 1, 1946. It is the fourth largest city in the own up of Nevada.

During the 1860s, Conrad Kiel established a ranch at the modern-day intersection of Carey Street and Losee Road in what would be North Las Vegas. In 1917, libertarian Thomas L. Williams of Eureka, Utah visited the Las Vegas Valley, back in imitation of Las Vegas, Las Vegas Indian Colony, and Arden were the without help entities in the valley. He did not take on of Las Vegas, perhaps because of its rowdiness (he was a Christian, or at least went to church), or because Las Vegas’ attempts at municipal control on top of its citizens. However, he was deferential by the abundance of the valley’s artesian water and potential for agriculture. Two years forward-thinking in 1919, he moved himself and his family (his wife and three sons) to a 160-acre fragment of estate a mile from Las Vegas. That year, he founded his town, developing the town by building he and his associates a house, sinking a well, grading roads, extending facility lines, and forming a system of irrigation ditches. Williams believed that churches and church people should control the other town, and fittingly encouraged churches to buy property in the town. In 1919, the federally enforced Volstead Act was passed, which prohibited the sale, possession, and consumption of alcohol. Since there was no local law against alcohol, and because of a system of tunnels that would affix the town’s underground speakeasies, the town attracted bootleggers from Las Vegas, although Williams was initially unaware of this. This gave his town the nickname of “Old Town”. When he did discover of it, he stuck like agriculture for his economic purposes.

In 1924, Williams built his second house that was the first issue of the town. It was named the Oasis Auto Court, and it contained a grocery store, a campground, a pronounce office, a community center, and a telephone. At the time, it was the town’s unaided telephone. Between 1928 and 1935, a large influx of workers from the Hoover Dam contracted in Williams’ town, as Las Vegas was intolerant towards them. In 1932, the town board was created. That thesame year, the town’s first grammar school, Washington School, opened. A proper herald had not yet been established for the town, and Williams did not want it named after himself, which benefit to the town board voting for either “North Las Vegas” or “Vegas Verde” (which means “Green Meadows” in Spanish). “Vegas Verde” won, and that became the publish for the town for a few months. George Hansen, a town board believer who voted for the name “North Las Vegas”, noticed that at one town board meeting, two members who voted the name “Vegas Verde” were absent. The vote for a post came taking into account again, and “North Las Vegas” won. In 1939, Williams died of stroke, and that left North Las Vegas to the ruling of the town board. An elementary school, and a road, were eventually named after him. During World War II, the Las Vegas Aerial Gunnery School opened in North Las Vegas. It would eventually become Nellis Air Force Base. North Las Vegas was the subject of many annexation attempts from Las Vegas. On May 1, 1946, North Las Vegas was incorporated as a city. In 1957, North Las Vegas planned to annex an Place to its southeast, and in response, the Clark County Commission created the town of Sunrise Manor to prevent additional annexation attempts.

On May 13, 1964, First Lieutenant Raynor Lee Hebert, a student pilot from Port Arthur, Texas, took off from Nellis Air Force Base at approximately 2:00 PM on an F-105 fighter jet. He radioed his flight leader maxim that he could not retract his nose gear, and hence couldn’t gain altitude. He was at an height tall enough to bail out, but too low that if he did, he would’ve hit Lincoln Elementary School, which was in session bearing in mind 800 students. He kept the aircraft nose occurring long passable to pass the school, and eventually hit nine residential houses on Lenwood Avenue. The wreck killed Hebert and four civilians. Hebert Memorial Park was created by the City of North Las Vegas like a plaque at the crash site to commemorate Hebert.
