Lake Havasu City is a city in Mohave County, Arizona, United States. Lake Havasu City was established in 1964 by Robert P. McCulloch (of McCulloch Chainsaws) as a planned community. McCulloch had purchased 3,500 acres of property on the east side of Lake Havasu along Pittsburgh Point, the peninsula that eventually would be transformed into "the island". The city was incorporated in 1978. The present city grew around an old mining town established in the early 20th century.
The lake was formed in 1938 by Parker Dam on the Colorado River. One cannot reach the Grand Canyon from Lake Havasu, however, due to the dams: Davis Dam (creating Lake Mohave) and Hoover Dam (creating Lake Mead) and Parker Dam.
Robert Paxton McCulloch (May 11, 1911 –
February 25, 1977) was an American entrepreneur most notable for McCulloch chainsaws
and purchasing the new London Bridge and moving it to one of the cities he founded,
Lake Havasu City, Arizona. In 1968, McCulloch was searching for a unique attraction
for his city, which eventually took him to London. By the early 1960s it was apparent
that John Rennie's 1831 London Bridge was gradually sinking into the River Thames
and Greater London Council decided that a new bridge would need to be built. Rather
than demolish the existing bridge, they decided to put the historic landmark on
the auction block.
A popular tourist attraction in Lake Havasu City is the London Bridge, which crosses an 8ft (2.4m) deep man-made canal that leads from Lake Havasu (on the Colorado River) to Thompson Bay.
The Colorado River
('Aha Kwahwat in Mojave) is a river in the southwestern United States and northwestern
Mexico, approximately 1,450 mi long, draining a part of the arid regions on the
western slope of the Rocky Mountains. The natural course of the river flows into
the Gulf of California, but the heavy use of the river as an irrigation source
for the Imperial Valley has desiccated the lower course of the river in Mexico
such that it no longer consistently reaches the sea.

Lake Havasu is a large reservoir behind Parker Dam on the Colorado River, on the border between California and Arizona. Lake Havasu City sits on the lake's eastern shore. The concrete arch dam was built by the United States Bureau of Reclamation between 1934 and 1938. The lake's primary purpose is to store water for pumping into two aqueducts.
The Central Arizona Project (CAP) is a 336 mi diversion canal in Arizona in the United States. The aqueduct diverts water from the Colorado River from Lake Havasu City near Parker into central and southern Arizona.
The Colorado River Aqueduct is a 242-mi water conveyance in southern California in the United States. The aqueduct diverts water from the Colorado River at Lake Havasu on the California-Arizona border west across the Mojave and Colorado deserts to the east side of the Santa Ana Mountains. The aqueduct begins at the Parker Dam on the Colorado southeast of Lake Havasu City, Arizona. It crosses the southern Mojave Desert, skirting around several small mountain ranges and the southern edge of Joshua Tree National Park. It enters the Coachella Valley north of the Salton Sea and flows northwest along the Little San Bernardino Mountains. It crosses the San Jacinto Mountains west of Palm Springs and terminates at Lake Mathews in western Riverside County, from whence it is distributed to multiple communities in the MWD region.
Parker Dam is a concrete arch-gravity dam which spans the Colorado river, at a point 155 miles (250 km) downstream of Hoover Dam. It is 320 feet (98 meters) high, 235 feet (72 meters) of which are below the riverbed, making it the deepest, although not the highest, dam in the world. The dam's primary functions are to act as a reservoir, and to generate hydroelectric power.
