Mohave County

Lake Havasu was created with the construction
of Parker Dam in the 1930’s. Until the dam systems
were built, what is now Lake Havasu was a remote
section of the Colorado River, winding its way through
the rugged terrain.

It has been said McCulloch first spied the eventual site
of what would become Lake Havasu City, when he flew over
the area in search of a location to test the outboard
boat motors he manufactured. Had he flown over that site
less than thirty years prior, there would have been no Lake
Havasu to host the McCulloch test center.

Robert P. McCulloch was able to transport, piece by piece,
the historic London Bridge, almost halfway across the globe,
and reconstruct it in the Arizona desert.
