In 1929 Port Kingman, Arizona State’s first commercial Airport, was established and dedicated by Charles Lindberg and Amelia Earhart as part of the Transcontinental Air Transport Company, forerunner of TWA. Spaniards explored the area in search of gold as early as the 1500’s. In 1857, Lt. Edward Beale’s U.S. Camel Corps located springs near Historic Downtown Kingman while surveying along the 35th parallel for the nation’s first Federally funded wagon road. In 1880, Lewis Kingman followed much of Beale Road while surveying for the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad. The railway reached the site of Kingman in March of 1883 and the first train pulled up in October 1883 carrying about 100 passengers. The town of Kingman began growing as people moved in to ranch, mine or set up business to service these growing industries. Kingman became a hub for supplies fed by the railroad. By 1887, Kingman was populous enough to be voted the new Mohave County Seat, however the prior seat, Mineral Park, did not concede. According to folklore, a group of Kingmanites stole the county records in the dark of night and brought them to Kingman. In 1926, the highway paralleling the railroad through Kingman was officially certified US Highway 66. The Great Depression brought millions of people out west on Highway 66 in hopes of finding a new beginning. Route 66 became an essential part of Kingman’s personality. Above is Charles Lindberg at Port Kingman in 1929. Boulder Dam, as Hoover Dam was called between 1933 and 1947, was dedicated in 1935. That same year, Boulder Dam Kingman Highway (now Highway 93) was completed. Kingman was known as the “Gateway to Boulder Dam”. In 1942, the Kingman Army Airfield was opened to train aerial gunners. About 36,000 gunners were trained here during WWII. After the war, many serviceman moved back to call Kingman their home. Kingman Army Air Field is the site of the present Kingman Airport Industrial Park. The former location of the original officer’s quarters is now home to Desert Diamond Distillery. Kingman incorporated soon after the war in 1952. GETTING AROUND PARKS 16. Centennial Park (tennis, basketball, Olympic-sized pool, jogging) (H-5) 17. Lewis Kingman Park (picnic, dog park) (H-7) 18.
