District numbers are by County.
Most are just numbers and follow tradition. Some counties use Dist 1, 2, 3 and some use 302, 303, 304 etc. A few use letters like Distict C24 and C25 (Clark County does). That explains why there are District #1's all over the state. Each county can have a District #1, but no two in the same county can have the same district number. I think the originals date back to the pre 1948 one room schools where there were dozens per county. Maybe 30 to 50 school districts in a county with each only 4 to 6 sq miles. Yep in those days you really could walk. Heck in them thair daz .. school did not start until Oct for the "Big Boys in grades 5 to 8" (after harvest) and everyone got done the last Friday in April.
