Mohave County is in the northwestern corner of the U.S. state of Arizona. As of the 2010 census, its population was 200,186. The county seat is Kingman, and the largest city is Lake Havasu City.

The county was named after the Mohave tribe, who are indigenous to the area. The area that is now Mohave County has a rich history dating back to prehistoric times. The Mohave tribe has lived in the area for thousands of years, and their descendants still reside in the region today. Spanish explorers arrived in the area in the 16th century, and the region was later settled by Americans in the mid-19th century. Mohave County was officially established in 1864, shortly after the end of the American Civil War.

It is the fifth largest county in the United States. The county consists of two sections divided by the Grand Canyon, with no direct land communication between them. The northern section, smaller and less populated, forms the western part of the Arizona Strip, bordering Utah and Nevada. The Arizona Strip is the part of Arizona lying north of the Colorado River.

The difficulty of crossing the Grand Canyon causes this region to have more physical and cultural connections with southern Utah and Nevada than with the rest of Arizona. The largest settlements in the Strip are Colorado City, Fredonia and Beaver Dam with its surrounding communities of Scenic, Littlefield and Desert Springs.

The larger southern section borders Nevada and California across the Colorado River, which forms most of the county's western boundary. The southern section includes Kingman, the county seat, and other cities, as well as part of the Mojave Desert.

Mohave County contains parts of Grand Canyon National Park and Lake Mead National Recreation Area and all of the Grand Canyon–Parashant National Monument.

Mohave County is a diverse and beautiful region of Arizona with a rich history, stunning geography, and a diverse economy. Its attractions and opportunities for outdoor recreation draw visitors from around the world and make it a great place to live, work, and play.
