About Parker, Arizona
Parker is a town of 3,417 people on the Colorado River in Parker Valley, and it is the county seat of La Paz County. From 1864 to 1869 a U.S. Army detachment held Camp Colorado on the new Colorado River Indian Reservation, and boats unloaded supplies and men for the post and the Indian agency at a spot that became Parker's Landing. The Army gave up the camp after sparks from the steamboat Cocopah, as it pulled away, set fire to the officers' brush huts.
A post office named Parker opened at the landing on January 6, 1871, taking the agency's name, four miles downriver from where the railroad bridge stands now. The present town was founded in 1908, and in 1909 Earl H. Parker, who located the line for the Arizona & California Railway, surveyed its first townsite. Parker incorporated in 1948, and when La Paz County was created on January 1, 1983, the town became its seat.
- Named for Ely ParkerThe agency, the post office and the town are all named for Ely S. Parker, a Tonawanda Seneca born at Indian Falls, New York. Turned away from enlisting as the Civil War began, he won a captain's commission in May 1863 through his friend Ulysses S. Grant and became Grant's military secretary.
- The jail built in 1914Parker's jail went up in 1914, a 24 by 30 foot cement block building with an office and two cells. It held prisoners until 1947 and still stands in Pop Harvey City Park. Residents formed the Save The Jail Committee in 1972 to keep it, and that group grew into the Parker Area Historical Society, which opened its museum in 1999. The Parker Jail is on the National Register.
- Home of four tribesThe original town sits on the Colorado River Indian Reservation, created on March 3, 1865. The Colorado River Indian Tribes, made up of the Mohave, Chemehuevi, Hopi and Navajo, have their headquarters in Parker. John Scott's 1966 tribal seal shows one feather for each. The tribes hold senior rights to as much as 719,248 acre-feet of river water a year, nearly a third of Arizona's share, and their museum in town shows art by tribal citizens, especially ceramics.
- 127 degrees in 1905On July 7, 1905, the thermometer at Parker reached 127 degrees Fahrenheit, which was then the hottest temperature ever recorded in Arizona.
- Still a railroad townThe Arizona & California Railroad took over the line through Parker from the Santa Fe Railway in 1991 and runs it from its headquarters here. Its trains cross the Colorado on a five-span truss bridge, not far from the highway bridge to Earp, California.
