In October of 1857, Lt. Edward F. Beale and his Camel Corps where surveying the region along the 35th parallel for a wagon road, when Kingman was found. Soon after, numerous travelers were frequenting the area and a fort, Fort Mojave, was built on the Colorado River to protect them from local Indian attacks. It didn’t take very long for the town to flourish.

Kingman spans the scenic Hualapai, Cerbat, and Black Mountain Ranges, offering exceptional hiking, camping, fishing, and boating among its cool pine filled valleys or in the Colorado River. Kingman is also easily accessible to Las Vegas, Phoenix, the Grand Canyon, and a short day’s drive to San Diego and the Pacific Ocean. Kingman has been recognized for having the longest remaining stretch of Historic Route 66 road frontage, designated as a National Scenic Byway, attracting thousands of people from all points of the globe to get "Their Kicks on Route 66".

Because of Kingman’s prime location at the crossroads of I-40 and U.S. Hwy. 93 (known as The CANAMEX Corridor), providing both north and south trade between Canada and Mexico, and east to west trade from coast to coast, Kingman is a major transportation center for freight in the country. These trade routes have been a big factor in people and businesses moving to Kingman, making it a fast growing community. The U. S. Census Bureau determined that by the 2010 Census, Kingman will reach metropolitan status.
