About this city
Also known as: Home of the London Bridge
Lake Havasu City is a vibrant, sun-drenched resort city beautifully located on the eastern shore of Lake Havasu along the Colorado River in Mohave County, Arizona. Founded in 1963 by industrialist Robert P. McCulloch, the city gained international fame by purchasing and reassembling the historic 1831 London Bridge across a scenic lake channel. Positioned as a major desert oasis, the city is a premier national destination for water sports, performance boating, and winter sunshine. It perfectly blends a lively, high-energy waterfront lifestyle with rugged off-road desert adventure opportunities.
