| Description |
Lake Havasu City is a city in Mohave County, Arizona, United States. According to 2006 Census Bureau estimates, the population of the town is 56,355. It was founded in 1964 on the shores of Lake Havasu. Lake Havasu City was established in 1964 by Robert P. McCulloch (of McCulloch Chainsaws) as a planned community. McCulloch had purchased 3,500 acres (14 km²) 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. 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. Many boats are out on the water to drive around. It was bought for US$2.5 million from the City of London when the bridge was replaced in 1968. The bridge was disassembled, and the marked stones were shipped to Lake Havasu City and reassembled for another US $7 million. It opened in October 1971. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_Havasu_City,_Arizona" rel="nofollow">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_Havasu_City,_Arizona</a> en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Text_of_Creative_Commons_... |
