The rich soil and plentiful at that time. At the beginning of the 20th century, mining water provided the people with a prosperous farming life. began to fail and Hardyville became a ghost town. The only In the 19th Century, the Bullhead thing remaining from Hardyville is the cemetery. With the Area mining community was named construction of the Davis Dam, Bullhead City was raised from Hardyville. It was named for William the ashes. Mohave Lake on the Northern border of Bullhead Harrison Hardy, a postmaster, county City increased interest in this desert area. supervisor and a member of the The name of Bullhead City came from a landmark Territorial Legislature. William Hardy was on the Colorado River called Bull’s Head Rock a New York native, established a ferry service across the river and raised which was used as a navigation point for steamboats. The rising water from the Davis Dam covered this landmark. The Davis Dam was started in 1942 and completed in 1953. The popularity of Laughlin, Nevada helped immensely with the growth in the area. Bullhead City was incorporated on August 28, 1984.

Laughlin, Nevada This location, consisting of a bar and motel, was established in the 1940’s for the construction workers who built Davis Dam and for gold and silver miners. After the dam construction was finished, the town was basically deserted. Don Laughlin, a Las Vegas entrepreneur, bought the property in 1964. Laughlin converted the motel and bar into the Riverside Resort. He initially offered 98 cent dinners, slot machines and two live gaming tables. Four of the motels rooms were used for guests and the other four for Mr. Laughlin and his family. The postal inspector named the town for Mr. Laughlin. In 1972, 48 rooms were added and in 1986, a 14-floor high-rise was built. Other casinos were soon to follow and growth also took off in Bullhead City. Shuttle boats were used to transport gamblers from Arizona to Laughlin. In 1987, Don Laughlin had the Laughlin Bridge built and donated at a cost of $3.5 million. Today there are many thriving casino and resorts, helping make tourism a primary employer in the area.

Kingman is at the heart of the longest stretch of this famed highway still in existence and intact. The foundation for both the community of Kingman and the ‘highway’ was laid hundreds of years ago. Native Americans who lived in the surrounding deserts and mountains, originally forged the path that was to become Route 66 as a trade route to the Pacific. In the mid 1800’s, the path became a trail (under the guidance of a military surveyor) that would eventually carry a nation westward. The ‘National Old Trails Highway’ was the result and with continued improvement, it was renamed ‘Route 66’ in 1926.

The road used to haul ore to the mill passed by a solitary granite knob that protruded from a flat gravel plain. A fellow by the name of S.C. Baggs, who was hauling ore to the mill, panned some samples from the outcropping. In September 1900, the outcrop was claimed by Baggs and became the Katherine Mine.
