Whitney, formerly known as East Las Vegas, is an unincorporated town and census-designated place in Clark County, Nevada. It had a population of 38,585 as of the 2010 census. The town was established in 1931 by Stowell E. Whitney, a dairy farmer who subdivided his ranch due to the construction of Boulder Highway. Although Whitney initially struggled during the Great Depression, the town was officially founded in 1942, gaining its borders that year. In 1958, residents petitioned to rename it East Las Vegas, a name it retained until 1993 when it reverted to Whitney. Early education was provided at Whitney Elementary School, a converted barracks, while older students attended Basic High School in Henderson or Chaparral High School in East Las Vegas. The construction of Interstate 515 (now part of Interstate 11) bypassing Whitney negatively impacted local businesses in the 1990s. However, the area has since seen economic recovery with new housing developments and revitalized businesses. Locals often call the neighborhood Boulder District. Whitney is also home to Sam Boyd Stadium, the former home of the UNLV Rebels.
