Fort Yuma - The Gateway to the West!
The Community - Fort Yuma, California
Rustic, rich, and timeless are some key words that identify what you'll find here in Fort Yuma, as well as an abundant amount of influence from the Quechan and Cocopah tribes that reside in this area. The Quechan tribal lands span the fertile flood plains of the Colorado River on both sides of the Arizona-California border near Yuma. Agriculture continues to sustain the community's economy, bolstered today now by tourism along the highly trafficked route between Phoenix and San Diego. Pull over, enjoy the community's pristine river location and exciting gaming destinations, including the Paradise Casino and the Quechan Casino Resort. Up and down Arizona's West Coast, visitors find plenty of areas to enjoy activities on the Colorado River. The Quechan Tribe operates multiple RV parks in the area, which are especially popular with winter visitors who enjoy Yuma's mild winter temperatures. While here, be sure to stop and take a tour of the Colorado River State Historic Park in Yuma to see how vital the waterway was to the area's original inhabitants.
