Blue Diamond

Blue Diamond is a tranquil, rural village nestled at the base of Red Rock Canyon, approximately 15 miles southwest of the Las Vegas Strip. With a population of just 268 residents as of the 2020 census, it offers a stark contrast to the bustling city life, providing a serene and close-knit community atmosphere.

Historically known as Cottonwood Springs, Blue Diamond evolved from a trading post along the Old Spanish Trail to a gypsum mining town in the early 20th century. The town was renamed in honor of the Blue Diamond Gypsum Company, which operated a mine in the area until 2005 . Today, remnants of its mining past coexist with modern amenities, including a public park, a community pool, and the Blue Diamond School, which has been educating local children since 1929.

The village's location offers residents easy access to outdoor activities, with Red Rock Canyon's scenic trails and the 7.7-mile Blue Diamond Hill Trail nearby . Despite its small size, Blue Diamond maintains a post office, library, and the Village Market, ensuring that essentials are within reach.
