The name Nevada came from the nearby Sierra Nevada Mountains, which translates to "snow-capped mountain range" in Spanish. The land comprising the modern state was colonized by Native Americans of the Paiute, Shoshone, and Washoe tribes before European contact. It was subsequently claimed by Spain as a part of Alta California until the Mexican War of Independence brought it under Mexican control. The US gained the territory in the year 1848 following its victory in the Mexican-American War and the area was finally incorporated as part of Utah Territory during 1850. The discovery of silver at the Comstock Lode during the year 1859 led to an increase in population which was an impetus to the creation of Nevada Territory out of western Utah Territory during the year 1861. Nevada became the 36th state on the 31st of October, the year 1864.
