History
edit
Lake Havasu City was established on September 30, 1963 and was incorporated in 1978.
The community first started during World War II as Site Six, an Army Air Corps rest camp on the shores of Lake Havasu. In 1958, American businessman Robert P. McCulloch purchased 3,353 acres (13.57 km2) of property on the east side of the lake along Pittsburgh Point, a peninsula that would eventually be transformed into an island.
After four years of planning, McCulloch Properties acquired another 13,000 acres (53 km2) of federal land in the surrounding area. Lake Havasu City was established on September 30, 1963, by a resolution of the Mohave County Board of Supervisors, as the Lake Havasu Irrigation and Drainage District, making it a legal entity (the act is referenced in resolution #63-12-1).
McCulloch Properties flew in prospective residents from around the United States for free in what became a substantial air operation. To qualify, prospective customers were required to put down a fully refundable deposit. McCulloch Properties acquired over a half-dozen commercial aircraft and in 1970, bought a small charter carrier, converting the operation into its own certificated airline, McCulloch International Airlines.[7] From 1964 through 1978, 2,702 flights were made to Lake Havasu City bringing in prospective buyers.[8]
London Bridge
editLondon Bridge crosses the narrow Bridgewater Channel[9] that leads from Lake Havasu (a segment of the Colorado River) to Thompson Bay (also on the river).[10][11] Hoping to attract tourists and prospective buyers of residential lots, McCulloch bought it for US$2.5 million from the City of London, England, when the bridge was replaced in 1968. The bridge was disassembled on contract with Sundt Construction of Tucson,[12] and the marked stones were shipped to Lake Havasu City and reassembled by Sundt[12] for another US$7 million. The construction took three years to complete.
McCulloch gave an acre of land in Lake Havasu City to London. When Lake Havasu City wanted to use this land for a visitors' center, London leased it back for a quit rent of a Hopi Kachina figure.[11]
Since its inauguration on October 5, 1971, London Bridge has become the second-largest tourist attraction in Arizona, after the Grand Canyon.[citation needed]
Events
editLake Havasu City is an active event destination for a wide range of people. During spring months, the community is joined by university students for spring break. In 1995, Lake Havasu City was featured during MTV's Spring Break coverage.[citation needed] Attendance during Spring Break has taken a downturn in recent years, as the city has declined to issue permits to the large party organizers.
For boaters, March to September are the prime months on Lake Havasu. The city is also home to the International World Jet Ski Final Races, multiple professional fishing tournaments, custom boat regattas, the Western Winter Blast pyrotechnics convention, Havasu 95 Speedway, the Chilln-n-Swilln Beer Festival annual charity event, the Havasu Triathlon,[13] and the Havasu Balloon Festival & Fair.[14]
During the winter months, the community is joined by retirees from colder regions of the country and Canada. During this period, multiple events are held on McCulloch Boulevard. Typically during the second weekend of February, McCulloch Boulevard is home to Winterfest, an annual event which draws thousands of visitors and residents for two days of food, activities, entertainment, and products from over 200 vendors from across the United States.[citation needed]

editLake Havasu City is located in southwestern Mohave County on the east side of Lake Havasu, a reservoir on the Colorado River. It is 60 miles (97 km) south of Kingman, the Mohave county seat, and 193 miles (311 km) northwest of Phoenix.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has an area of 46.385 square miles (120.14 km2), of which 46.339 square miles (120.02 km2) is land and 0.046 square miles (0.12 km2) (0.10%) is water.[2]
Transportation
editThe only surface access to Lake Havasu City is by road via Arizona State Route 95, which meets Interstate 40 19 miles (31 km) to the north of the city and Interstate 10 74 miles (119 km) to the south. C. V. Wood, who designed Disneyland, was hired by Robert McCulloch to lay out Lake Havasu's unique road system.[15]
In the early stages of development of the city, McCulloch Properties operated a fleet of secondhand airliners such as the Lockheed Constellation and the Lockheed L-188 Electra to fly prospective property purchasers to the area from California and elsewhere in the United States.
The city operates Lake Havasu City Transit.[16] Vegas Airporter provides service from Lake Havasu City to Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas.[17] Havasu Landing Resort and Casino provides a ferry to Havasu Lake, California.[18]
Lake Havasu City Airport, also known as Lake Havasu City Municipal Airport, is a general aviation airport owned by the city and located 6 miles north of the central business district of Lake Havasu City.
Climate
editLake Havasu City has a hot arid climate (Köppen BWh), with sweltering summers, mild to warm winters, and very little rainfall. Lake Havasu City is a very hot city, even by Arizona standards; the hottest temperature ever recorded in the state, 128 °F or 53.3 °C, was recorded in Havasu City on June 29, 1994.[19] Temperatures may exceed 100 °F or 37.8 °C as early as April or as late as October, while it routinely reaches 110 °F or 43.3 °C in the summer months and can even get up to 120 °F (48.9 °C) or higher during the worst heat waves. Overnight low temperatures generally stay between 80 and 90 °F (26.7 and 32.2 °C) for July and August, but the highest overnight low temperature (record high minimum) ever recorded was 98 °F or 36.7 °C on July 22, 2003.[20]
The winters, on the other hand, are very pleasant, with typical daily highs in the 60s and 70s Fahrenheit (16–26 °C), and infrequent night frosts. Mean annual rainfall is only 4.16 inches (106 millimeters); winter is the wettest season, but even then, rain occurs on an average of only 2–3 days per month. The wettest "rain year" on record was from July 1977 to June 1978 with 8.46 inches or 214.9 millimeters and the driest from July 1995 to June 1996 with a mere 0.39 inches or 9.9 millimeters. The wettest month since records began in 1967 has been March 2020 with 2.99 inches or 75.9 millimeters, and the wettest day was October 21, 1978, when 1.87 inches or 47.5 millimeters fell over the 24 hours.
