The area's first inhabitants were Native peoples whose descendants live on the Cocopah and Quechan reservations. In 1540 Spanish expeditions under Hernando de Alarcon and Melchior Diaz recognized the natural crossing of the Colorado River, where it narrows to under 1,000 feet, as an ideal site for a city. Juan Bautista de Anza crossed there in 1774, the Mormon Battalion in 1848 and the California Column in 1862. From the Gold Rush to the late 1870s, ferries at the Yuma Crossing carried travelers on the Southern Emigrant Trail, the gateway to California.
After the United States built Fort Yuma, two towns grew up a mile downriver: Jaeger City on the California side, named for the owner of Jaeger's Ferry and home to a Butterfield Overland Mail station, and Colorado City on the south bank, laid out by the speculator Charles Poston and site of the custom house. From 1853 a smaller settlement on the high ground across from the fort grew and was organized in 1858 as Arizona City. The Great Flood of 1862 nearly destroyed Colorado City and Jaeger City, which were rebuilt on higher ground, and Colorado City became part of Arizona City, which took the name Yuma in 1873. From 1854 the town was the major steamboat stop on the Colorado, and boats carried passengers and supplies to mines and military posts upriver. From 1864 the Yuma Quartermaster Depot, now a state historic park, supplied all the forts in present Arizona and much of Colorado and New Mexico. Yuma became the seat of Yuma County in 1871, replacing La Paz, and the Southern Pacific Railroad bridged the river there in 1877. Sources Wikipedia: Yuma, Arizona
