Early LDS Church settlement in Las Vegas Valley
The Las Vegas Mission was one of the earliest European settlements in the Las Vegas Valley. It was established by missionaries for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). In May 1855, at the direction of then church president Brigham Young, thirty-two missionaries were sent to evangelize among Native Americans and establish a mission outpost in the Las Vegas Valley.[1] The mission was abandoned in December 1857 due to growing political issues revolving Mormons and the threat of Native American attacks.
