“Preserve the Past. Protect the Present. Inspire the Future.” Yuma’s story began on the banks of the Colorado River — a crossroads of cultures, a lifeline of the desert, and a living classroom for generations to come. From the storied walls of the Yuma Territorial Prison to the historic pathways of the Colorado River State Historic Park, and the vibrant ecosystem of the Yuma East Wetlands, every inch of our riverfront tells the story of resilience, innovation, and community.
