Reno: Railroad Town, Divorce Capital, Gigafactory Hub
Reno was founded in 1868 as a railroad station on the Central Pacific line and named for Union General Jesse Reno. The Truckee River, flowing from Lake Tahoe to Pyramid Lake, runs directly through downtown. The city adopted the slogan "The Biggest Little City in the World" in 1929, and the arch spanning Virginia Street has carried that phrase in successive versions since 1926.
Reno's legal gambling industry predates Las Vegas by decades. Harolds Club and Harrah's both opened in Reno in the 1930s and 1940s, establishing the casino business before the Strip's development. The city also functioned for much of the twentieth century as the divorce capital of the United States, capitalizing on Nevada's six-week residency requirement. The Washoe County Courthouse processed hundreds of thousands of divorce filings from the 1920s through the 1960s.
The University of Nevada, Reno, founded in 1874, sits north of downtown and enrolls roughly 21,000 students. Its Mackay School of Earth Sciences and Engineering reflects the mining legacy of the Comstock Lode at nearby Virginia City. More recently, the Tahoe-Reno Industrial Center east of the city in Storey County has drawn major logistics and manufacturing operations, including the Tesla Gigafactory that began operations in 2016 and produces battery cells and electric vehicle drivetrains.
Reno-Tahoe International Airport handled over 4 million passengers in 2023. Winters in Reno are cold but drier than Tahoe's, and the city sits at roughly 4,500 feet. The Reno Rodeo, held annually in June, is one of the largest Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association events in the country.
