Area Links Nestled along the Colorado River near the spot where Arizona, California and Nevada meet, Bullhead City is a budding community. The scenic beauty, deep blue skies and majestic mountains make this community a visual paradise. Originally known as Hardyville, the settlement began when William Harrison Hardy began operating a ferry, trading post and inn on the Colorado River in 1864. Construction of Davis Dam, located to the North, began in 1942. Construction was halted because necessary materials were consumed by World War II efforts, however it was resumed in 1946 and the Dam was completed in 1950. A
popular recreation area, visitors may choose between the cold,
fast-running waters of the Colorado River or the smooth, warm
waters of Lake Mohave for fishing and water recreation. Other
popular activities include off-roading, hiking and golfing.
The community hosts annual events such as rodeos, a Bluegrass
Festival, powerboat races, chili cook-offs, and the Harley River
Run. Just across the Colorado River is beautiful Laughlin, Nevada
home to nine casino’s each bringing several entertainers to
the area throughout the year. Links to both areas are listed
below to assist with upcoming community events and resourses.

Incorporated in 1984, Bullhead is a relatively new city, but has grown consistently over the last 20 years to occupy over 33,000 residents.
