Celebrating women who made history.

Today is the final day of and we would be remiss if we did not take time to highlight Helen J. Stewart - the “First Lady of Las Vegas.” Helen moved to Las Vegas in 1882 with her husband Archibald. At the time, Las Vegas was little more than a handful of isolated ranches and Archibald promised his wife that they would only stay for two years. After Archibald was killed in a gunfight in 1884 just two miles to the north of here, Helen faced a difficult choice. With four children, a fifth on the way, and no experience running a ranch, she would have had plenty of reasons to leave. Despite all these obstacles, Helen would manage this property for over 20 years and go on to become the largest landowner in Southern Nevada. In 1902 she sold almost 2,000 acres to the San Pedro, Los Angeles, and Salt Lake Railroad – land that would form the center of the new city of Las Vegas. Helen remained very involved in the growing community becoming the first female member of the Clark County School Board, a charter member of the Mesquite Club, and the first female juror in Las Vegas.
Helen Stewart’s relentless determination to succeed in the harsh Mojave Desert laid the groundwork for a modern city. The city that exists today serves as a testament to her indomitable courage and perseverance in the face of overwhelming challenges.
