The area is supplied by Farwest Water & Sewer, privately owned and operated. All streets are paved, accessing a variety of oversized residential lot options, including RV lots with pad and storage, park models, modular homes, and site-built homes, some valued at over $300,000. The newer cluster of homes comprise the more “upscale” neighborhood in the southeastern area. This area rises slightly allowing distant view. It’s close to the Gila Mountains to the east.

Somerton was established in 1898 and incorporated in 1918, on land once claimed for the fraudulent Rancho El Paso de los Algodones [land] Grant. This property along the Colorado River was very attractive to speculators. The U.S. Congress passed a law that allowed settlers who were on the land prior to May 25, 1898 to buy up to 40 acres for only $1.25 per acre. In addition to agriculture, there is some light industry starting up in Somerton. Citrus and vegetable growing and processing concerns employ many local residents, and some small commercial service companies are paving the way for more small businesses.

4 Yuma Community Guide 2015-2016 yumacommunityguide.com Wellton Located 29 miles east of Yuma on the opposite side of the Gila Mountains, the town of Wellton is a lively center for business, services and recreation. During the winter season, the population of 3,000 almost doubles as seasonal vacationers flock to the many RV parks from the western states and Canada. It’s no wonder, with so many warm, sunny days that the area in and around Wellton has become such a popular retirement destination. Once a water stop for the Butterfield Overland Mail stagecoaches and then the Southern Pacific Railroad, this small town’s history began with its founding in 1878. As cars came into use, “Well Town”, named for the water wells to supply the railroad, became Wellton which is now primarily an agricultural community. Coyote Wash Shopping Center is located just south of I-8 at the Wellton exit, on Commerce Way. The Coyote Wash Golf Course is a short distance south, surrounded by the master-planned community of Coyote Wash.

San Luis Go an additional 12 miles south of Somerton, and you’ll be in San Luis, just over the border from Mexico. The city promotes trade with Mexico with a combination of industrial, commercial and agricultural businesses. Established in 1930, San Luis was then opened as a U.S. Port of Entry. In 1979 the town was incorporated with a population under 2,000. Since then, the population has grown quickly to over 28,000 today - the county’s fourth largest incorporated community. Because of the closeness to both Mexico and California, San Luis has become one of the fastest-growing cities in Yuma County, offering productive border activities and opportunities. Across the border is the sister city, San Luis Rio Colorado, Sonora, with a population of 250,000. A new commercial port of entry and the recently completed Highway 195 to I-8 promises a boon to the economy.
