The Bradshaw Ferry Landing served as the founding site in 1863, then named "Mineral City". It was later renamed "Ehrenberg" in honor of surveyor and mining engineer, Herman Ehrenberg. With Ehrenberg's prime location on the Colorado River, it rapidly became a major port of entry to the interior of the Arizona territory. In the late 1800's "Gold-crazed Californians crossed the Colorado River at Ehrenberg during the great La Paz Rush.".

Late 1800's ~ "Ehrenberg is a brisk town one hundred and thirty miles above Yuma, and next to Yuma the largest shipping town on the Colorado River. The population is about 300.
