Return to Index History & History Related Items Parker history: This town began as a small post office opened on 6 January 1871, which developed into a large trade center for the local Indian communities. The area is part of the Colorado River Indian Tribe Reservation. The actual town was surveyed in 1909 by Earl H. Parker..The town was not name for the surveyor, but for General Eli Parker, the Commissioner of Indian Affairs when the reservation was formed in 1865. When the railroad came in 1905, the tracks were laid through the middle of town. The town was actually built to be a stopover for the trains with water, food and as a shipping station. Irrigation remained a problem, but as the years went by, various solutions came about helping Parker to increase its farming and agricultural pursuits. The Headgate Rock Dam, built in 1941, helped to guarantee the availability of water for Parker. In 1928, Parker Dame was built. The dam created a large lake over 16 miles long that created an atmosphere to bring tourists, fisherman and boating to Parker. This dam and lake changed the area from mainly agricultural to a recreational area. More businesses opened to support the recreation that began to come. Parker was incorporated as a town in 1948. La Paz County was created in 1982 and Parker was designated the county seat on 1 January 1983. More historical information is available at this history page for Parker.
