La Paz County was formed in 1983 after breaking away from Yuma County to the south. It encompasses approximately 4,500 square miles of desert, rivers, lakes, streams, mountain ranges, and valleys. It is bordered on the west by the Colorado River which contributes greatly to the recreational and agricultural industries of the region. Parker is the County Seat. Other La Paz County communities are Bouse, Brenda, Cibola, Ehrenberg, Harcuvar, Hope, Poston, Quartzsite, Salome, Vicksburg, Wayside, Wenden, and the Alamo Lake Area.
