 Nestled along the Colorado River near the spot where Arizona, California and Nevada meet, Bullhead City is a thriving micropolitan 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 can choose to enjoy the cold, fast-running waters of the Colorado River for water sports, or the smooth warm waters of Lake Mohave for the bass & catfish angler, or to enjoy the pristine beaches. Other popular activities include off-roading, hiking, and golfing, and just across the river gaming & entertainment in Laughlin, NV, home to nine casinos. The community hosts annual events such as rodeos, a Bluegrass Festival, powerboat races, chili cook-offs, and the Harley River Run. Links to both area Chambers of Commerce are listed below to assist with upcoming community events.  There are many things to see and do in and around Bullhead City. Visit the Colorado River Museum located on Highway 95, between the Laughlin Bridge and the entrance to Davis Camp for an historical perspective of the community. Museum days and hours are,Tuesday through Sunday, 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM, closed during July and August. A $1.00 donation for adults is appreciated and children are free. Located to the South of town, and East on Boundary Cone Road, you will find the mining community of Oatman, Arizona. Step back in time, visit the Oatman hotel, feed the burros, enjoy refreshments, or tour the mine. The Bullhead City/Laughlin Airport serves flights coming in from throughout the United States and parts of Canada. Incorporated in 1984, Bullhead is a relatively new city, and has grown consistently over the last 20 years, and continues to do so today. The area attracts just fewer than 5 million visitors per year. Major employers in the area are the 9 casino properties in Laughlin, Wal-Mart Super Center, Western Arizona Regional Medical Center, Mohave Electric Cooperative, and City, County and State offices.

First Time Buyers >House Hunting Tips
If you are house-hunting, you may spend hours looking at homes only to have them all blend into one giant blur at the end of the day. Which house had that beautifully designed great room? Was it the same one with the small master bedroom? You can remember what is important about each of the many properties that you saw by using the little tricks developed by real estate agents to help them identify the thousands of properties they see.
Carry a notebook with you when you are house-hunting, and give each house its own page. At the top of the page, note the address and price. Write down the exterior construction, style and color, as well as the color of the living room carpet and walls and any other major feature that will jog your memory later. You can nickname the houses--"the cow mailbox house" or "organic garden house"--anything to help you retain a mental picture of the property. This will enable you to recap the day and give your real estate agent important feedback that can speed up your search for the perfect home!
