A backward glance into the misty past is necessary to set the stage for defining Needles as a unique community and for relating how she happened to be founded in the first place... ...
Needles, founded in 1883, is one of the oldest living communities on the Colorado River, rich in history and promise for the future. The fabric of it's past is intricately woven of influences of the river, the railroad, Old Trails Highway (later Route 66), the Mojave Indian Tribe, and pre-history - evidence of which abounds on the land. Perhaps most of all it has been influenced by it's climate... hot summers offset by mild and wonderful winters.
Arrival of the railroad at the Colorado River in 1883 actually caused the founding of the town. The new settlement was named "The Needles", a namesake of the sharp peaks at the southerly end of the valley. The peaks themselves had been named by Lt. Amiel Weeks Whipple when he started the whole thing by heading the government survey for a railroad in 1854
