The City of Henderson isn’t nearly as well known as its next-door neighbor Las Vegas.
That’s completely understandable since Las Vegas is one of the most visited cities in the world.
But Henderson is a great city in its own right. Here are five interesting facts about the city that you may not have known.

Henderson isn’t very big when you compare it to Las Vegas, but it’s also not that small.
Its population of 343,486 is comparable to Anchorage, Alaska; St. Paul, Minnesota; and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
