Mohave Museum of History and Arts
Mohave County Historical Society.
The local history of Mohave County in Northwestern Arizona is presented here in a variety of texts and images. A 2,100-word essay describes the evolution of the area from pre-historic times to the present day and a chronology of events, from 1776 to 1997, marks significant moments in the county’s history. Items from the Mohave County Miner, a local newspaper, include 92 local news items from 1901 and 45 from 1951. News items range from five to 100 words and cover a range of events, from a single case of the mumps to the effects of local atomic bomb tests. “Arizona Memories” contains 17 articles about Mohave history, seven of them illustrated with photographs. Most of the articles, between 600 words and seven pages, were written in the last 20 years, but three are from the turn of the century. Article topics cover local family histories, Native Americans, mining, military, and railroad history. A list of names and dates taken from gravestones in the Pioneer Cemetery in Kingman, Arizona, provides information about people buried between 1900 and 1917. The site links to eight others about Arizona and western history and may be useful for research in the history of the west.
