Kingman, Arizona History and CultureKingman, Arizona real estate was sparsely populated even prior to European settlement due to the local geography. 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.
U.S. Army Lt. Edward F. Beale was perhaps the first non-native to explore Mohave County, when he took a pack of camels across the rugged northern Arizona terrain into California. 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.
Beginning in 1880, Lewis Kingman (for whom the county seat is named) helped to develop the Atlantic and Pacific railroad between Needles, California and Albuquerque, New Mexico. The community of “Middleton” became “Kingman” by 1882 and grew rapidly. The county seat moved from Mineral Park, Arizona to Kingman in 1887 and Kingman’s population was 300 by 1890. The discovery of gold in the Black Mountains in 1900 made Kingman the county’s mining hub. Many mining sites are now ghost towns, including Oatman and Chloride.
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.
Kingman, Arizona Attractions, Activities and AmenitiesKingman, Arizona real estate offers an unspoiled example of life in the Grand Canyon State. Mohave County boasts about 1,000 miles of shoreline on the Colorado River and its lakes, Lake Mead, Lake Mohave and Lake Havasu. The county is home to many golf courses, parks and trail systems.
Kingman is one of the main stops on Route 66 in this part of the state. Bonelli House depicts the lives of a prominent family around 1915, when the house was built. Outside Kingman, travelers can follow Route 66 to the ghost town of Oatman, where many original buildings remain and visitors hand-feed the burros that roam the streets.
Fourteen miles southeast of Kingman is beautiful Hualapai Mountain Park, which is at an elevation of 6,700 feet and where overnight camping, picnicking and hiking are popular.
The 40-acre Forever Ranch and Gardens is a new (1999) desert botanical garden located about 45 miles south of Kingman near Yucca, Arizona. The garden’s mission is to educate people as to the beauty and diversity of xeric plants and to employ renewable energy technology as well as low-impact construction techniques. Garden organizers plan to incorporate plants from desert biomes around the world. At present, about 165 species of native and naturalized exotic plants have been observed in the garden, including 16 species of cactus, yucca, agave, nolina, woody shrubs, trees, bulbs, annual and perennial wildflowers, lichens, mosses, ferns and liverworts.
Lake Mead National Recreation Area extends about 140 miles along Mohave County’s western border from Grand Canyon National Park south to Bullhead City, about 35 miles west of Kingman, and covers 1.5 million acres, including Lake Mead and Lake Mohave. The area is home to a wide variety of plants and animals, including bighorn sheep, coyotes, foxes, bobcats, mule deer, desert tortoise, peregrine falcon, lizards and snakes.

At Bullhead City, the Davis Dam impounds Lake Mohave. Bullhead City is a vacation destination popular with people who seek recreation on the water and includes the Colorado River Museum, which features Mohave Indian items and replicas of a gold mine and Fort Mohave in 1859.
The Hoover Dam, about 75 miles northwest of Kingman, stands 726 feet high as it impounds Lake Mead and is a truly a mad-made wonder. Visitors can learn about the dam’s construction and how its creation allowed for farming in the desert as well as inspect its eight massive generators.
Lake Havasu City, about 60 miles south of Kingman, was developed by chainsaw magnate Robert McColluch Sr., and features the actual London Bridge that once spanned the Thames River in England. McColluch, who began developing the city in 1963 as a retirement community, purchased the multi-arched bridge, had it disassembled, shipped to America and reassembled from 1968-71 over a man-made inlet on the Colorado River. Lake Havasu, formed by the impoundment of Parker Dam, supplies water all for cities large and small all the way to Los Angeles and offers fishing for bass, crappie and bluegill, as well as other water sports.
While the most scenic (and most crowded) part of the Grand Canyon lies northeast of Kingman in Coconino County, there are several rural paths that offer access to view its unsurpassed beauty within Mohave County.
