City Description

Bullhead City is a city located on the Colorado River in Mohave County, Arizona, USA, roughly 100 mi (160 km) south of Las Vegas, Nevada, and directly across the Colorado River from Laughlin, Nevada, whose casinos and ancillary services supply much of the employment for Bullhead City. According to 2006 Census Bureau estimates, the population of the city is 40,225. Bullhead City is located a few miles north of Fort Mojave Indian Reservation. Spanish explorer Melchor Díaz documented his travels in Northwestern Mohave County in 1540. The area was found to be populated by Native Americans, the Mojave Indian Tribe, for whom the county is named. This group of Mojave Indians referred to themselves as the Pipa Aha Macav, meaning "People by the River". In 1776, Father Garces crossed the Colorado River in the Bullhead City area. In the 1800s, the current site of Bullhead City was called Hardyville, named for early resident and politician, William Hardy. A New York native and an entrepreneur, Hardy established a ferry service across the Colorado River and raised Angora goats. He was a colorful and somewhat controversial figure who is considered by many as the founding father of Bullhead
