- 12 years ago
Mesquite has grown from a sleepy highway down to burgeoning retirement destination. In the 1990s the population grew nearly 400% with an influx of Califonians and Mexicans. Recreation including gambling casinos and golf courses dominate the economy. Like much of Nevada, Mesquite has been hit by the housing crunch and is now trending Democratic like the rest of the state.
