A History of Kingman
In October 1857, Lieutenant Edward Fitzgerald Beale surveyed a wagon road with his experimental Camel Corps. The Camel Corps established Fort Mojave along the banks of the Colorado River. Off-duty soldiers searched the nearby hills, finding gold and silver. In 1880, Lewis Kingman also surveyed the area for the railroad right of way. The railway track was completed only three years later. One of the contractors established and sold lots along the railroad route, eventually becoming Kingman.
Today, the area around Kingman offers numerous attractions, including wineries, a wildlife park, and small unique communities. Recreation is abundant with golf courses, parks, hiking/biking, and off-road trail systems. Southeast of Kingman, you’ll encounter beautiful Hualapai Mountain Park. With an elevation of 6,700 feet, it’s a cool oasis flush with cabins, RV parks, campgrounds, picnicking, and hiking, and even hosts several special annual events.
More than 1,000 miles of shoreline on the banks of the Colorado River are maintained by Mohave County, including Lakes Mead, Havasu, and Mohave, all of which are ideal for fishing, boating, swimming, and watersports.
