History

The first recorded European to come through Mohave Valley was Melchor Díaz. He documented his travels in what is now northwestern Mohave County in 1540. He recounts meeting a large population of natives who referred to themselves as the Pipa Aha Macav, meaning “People by the River”. From “Aha Macav” came the shortened name “Mojave” (also spelled “Mohave”). While Mohave Valley and Mohave County use the modern English spelling, the tribe retains the traditional Spanish spelling “Mojave”. Both are correct, and both are pronounced “Moh-hah-vee”.
