In 1963, on the Mohave County courthouse steps in Kingman, Arizona, the town's founder, Robert P. McCullock, Sr. purchased a 26 square mile parcel of barren desert, that would become the site for Lake Havasu City. At the time it was the largest single tract of state land ever sold in Arizona, and the cost per acre was under $75.
Then he and a friend bought the "London Bridge" for 2.5 million in 1968, and had it moved from London to Lake Havasu City and erected again, stone by stone. After the bridge was reassembled, the Bridgewater Channel was dredged to create an island that houses a marina, a golf course, hotels and a campground.
