Spanish traders traveling to Los Angeles along the Spanish Trail in the early 1700's searched for a route that would pass through the unexplored Las Vegas Valley. The Spaniards referred to the route through the valley as the journey of death. Rafael Rivera, a young scout, was the first of European ancestry to see the valley. His discovery was a valley with abundant wild grasses growing and plenty of water. The valley was thereafter known as Las Vegas, which is Spanish for "The Meadows."
