The Colorado River State Historic Park, located in Yuma, Arizona, preserves the area's rich history tied to the Colorado River. Formerly known as the Quartermaster Depot Historic Park, it encompasses the historic Yuma Crossing, a vital river crossing point historically used by Native American tribes, Spanish explorers, and pioneers traveling westward. The park features restored adobe buildings, including the iconic Yuma Quartermaster Depot, which served as a supply base for frontier military posts. Exhibits and guided tours offer insights into the region's role in transportation, communication, and military operations during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
