Yuma Crossing

From 1850 to 1877 all travelers crossing the Colorado River used the ferry. Several operated between the mouth of the Gila River and Pilot Knob. Steamboats arrived on the river in 1850 and the first railroad bridge was built in 1877.

Marker is at the intersection of North 4th Avenue and West 1st Street, on the right when traveling south on North 4th Avenue.
