Reno (/'ri?noU/REE-noh), is a city located in the northwest corner of the U.S state of Nevada. It lies along the Nevada-California frontier, approximately 22 miles (35km) north of Lake Tahoe. Reno is known as \"The Biggest Little City In the World\". Reno, the county seat and the largest city in Washoe County, is well-known for its tourism industry and casino. It is located in the High Eastern Sierra foothills of the Truckee River Valley, on the eastern Sierra Nevada. Reno and Sparks are located in a valley known colloquially as Truckee Meadows. This is because large-scale investments by companies from the Greater Seattle and San Francisco Bay Areas such as Amazon, Tesla and Microsoft have made it a major technology hub in the United States.

Named after Jesse L. Reno (Civil War Union Major General), the city was named in his honor. Reno was killed during the American Civil War at South Mountain, Fox's Gap.
