Lake Havasu City is located in the northwest corner of Arizona in Mohave County, 18 miles south of interstate 40 and 65 miles north of interstate 10. Its proximity to Los Angles, Phoenix, Las Vegas, Laughlin and Grand Canyon make it attractive to retailers, distribu-tors and tourists alike. With an elevation of approximately 575 feet, Lake Havasu City sits on the edge of the water and surrounded by mountains. A part of the northern and western limits of the Sonoran Desert, the area enjoys mild winters and low humidity.

Lake Havasu City’s population is approximately 52,000 with seasonal residents in the winter months.

Lake Havasu City was known for its world famous London Bridge. Lake Havasu was formed by the construction of the Parker Dam from 1934-1938. The reservoir created nearly 450 miles of shoreline and was filled to its capacity of 211 billion gallons of water in 1940-1942.

In 1963, Robert McCulloch, owner of McCulloch Motors, was flying over Lake Havasu looking for a place to test his outboard engines. He thought that the land surrounding Lake Havasu had great potential for an emerging city. Lake Havasu City was established on September 30, 1963. McCulloch and developer C.V. Wood joined efforts and founded what would be a thriving community. C.V. Wood had previously designed the Disneyland amusement park in Anaheim, California.

In 1964, the City had only one unimproved road into the city. McCulloch needed a way to get prospective buyers to the new city; so he chose air charter. Between 1964 and 1978, 2,702 flights brought 137,000 potential land buyers to Lake Havasu City in a huge sales push that targeted mainly people from colder climates. In 1978, the last par-cel of land was sold, and the city was incorporated later that year. By 1981, Lake Havasu City boasted a popula-tion of 17,000. In subsequent years, the city experienced population growth at a steady flow of about 1,000 people annually. Most came in search of refuge from big cities, and to enjoy Lake Havasu City’s beautiful weather and laid-back lifestyle.

Over fifty years after Robert McCulloch’s initial visit, Lake Havasu City (elevation 735 feet) is now home to over 52,000 people and a thriving tourism industry that at-tracts over 775,000 visitors annually. The community reg-ularly hosts well-known events such as Desert Storm, a world famous boat racing competition, the IJSBA (World Jet Ski Finals), the “Relics and Rods”, a classic car show, the Lake Havasu Balloon Festival & Fair, Winter Blast Western Pyrotechnics Show, and other exciting events throughout the year.

The owners Dean and Sharon Messmer have arrived at a time in their life to turnover their thriving business to someone seeking oppor-tunity.

Fast forward 31 years and 10 million dollars in gross yearly sales, the company has weathered economic down turns, competitors and has continued to grow and become the most well know name in the Southwest for Boats and classic car sales with approximately 300 units sold in 2016.
