Bullhead City, Arizona History and CultureBullhead City, Arizona real estate was sparsely populated even prior to European settlement due to the local geography and hot weather. The Mohave Indian tribe has inhabited the land for centuries and the Mohave Desert includes Mohave County, Arizona and extends into southeastern California and southern Nevada. Mohave means “the people who live by the water” in English.
Bullhead City itself is a relatively new city, incorporated in 1984, but steamboats plied the Colorado River past what is now the city beginning in the 1850s. U.S. Army Lt. Edward F. Beale was one of the first non-natives to explore Mohave County, when he took a pack of camels across the rugged northern Arizona terrain into California in 1857. Fort Mojave was soon established on the Colorado River between what are now Bullhead City and Lake Havasu City. Off-duty soldiers scouted the hills and found gold and silver. Mining camps sprang up and cattle grazed the grasslands in the 1870s.
Originally known as Hardyville, after William H. Hardy, a postmaster and county supervisor, the town was all but abandoned when it was bypassed by the railroad. In 1902, army engineers chose the site for Davis Dam, just south of an old, landmark rock formation that jutted majestically from the water known as Bull’s Head Rock. And so the name Bullhead City was derived. In the late 1940s the U.S. Post Office made the name official. Davis Dam, which impounds Lake Mohave and is about 45 miles downstream from Hoover Dam, was not completed until the early 1950s. After the construction of Davis Dam, the water rose and now almost completely covers the landmark.
The Boulder Dam (now the Hoover Dam) was built on the Colorado River from 1931-36 and contributed to population growth, especially in Las Vegas, but also created recreational opportunities in Mohave County.
By 1970, Bullhead City-Mohave Valley area had only about 7,000 residents. The population rose to 10,364 at the 1980 census and 21,951 in 1990. The Laughlin Bridge opened in 1986, providing access between Bullhead City and Laughlin, Nevada.
