Just about every night it seems you can reach up and pluck the stars from the tranquil desert sky.Lake Havasu City, the famed home of the London Bridge, was named for its 45-mile long lake on the Colorado River, named by the Chemehuevi meaning "Land of the Blue Green Water". The Lake is actually a Colorado River reservoir that was created when the Parker Dam was built between 1934-1938.The London Bridge, which crosses the Bridgewater Channel from the mainland to a small island on the Colorado River, is world-famous and draws visitors from all over the world. When the bridge was sinking into the River Thames in London, Robert P. McCulloch saw an opportunity. Having the winning bid, the bridge was dismantled and sent by barge to the California coast where it was loaded, trucked to Lake Havasu and rebuilt "brick" by "brick". The bridge is a focal point for the city. The lure of merry old England draws our year-round guests. Nestled beneath the bridge is our "English Village" which offers a British flavor for your shopping and dining pleasure. With its Tudor style architecture, the shops and restaurants do create the atmosphere of seeing a piece of "merry olde England".

Here you can also rent a paddle boat, take a boat tour or take the ferry to the California side of the Lake.Our 26 square mile city has a population of about 45,000.

Lake Havasu was formed when Parker Dam was completed in 1938.It was 482 feet above sea level. The average rainfall is 5.0 inches. Winter temperatures range from a low of 40 to a high of 80 degrees. It was the water that brought Robert P. McCulloch, Sr., to Lake Havasu. He was flying over the Southwest looking for a motor testing site. He spotted the abandoned Army Air Corps landing strip and rest camp, which were here after World War II. He purchased this land and set up his testing station, which is known as Site Six. At the time, there were no houses here. Mr. McCulloch built a 100 unit mobile home park to house the workers. The Best Western and the nautical Inn were the first motels. There was no post office, no radio, or even TV. Gradually, businesses came and homes were built. When the London Bridge was put up for sale, Mr. McCulloch thought Lake Havasu would be an ideal place for it. He put the winning bid, which was $2,460,000. The London Bridge now spans the Bridgewater Channel in Lake Havasu, connecting the "mainland" to the island. Below the bridge on the mainland side is the English Village where you can stroll the tree-lined walks, stop and have a snack or a full course meal in between browsing the village shops. Across the Bridge is the Island Fashion Mall with two fabulous restaurants, shopping and a fitness center.Colorado River is the lifeline of our area, and it always has been.

It starts with the federal, then state and local projects.
