Ehrenberg is a desert community alongside the Colorado River with a rich, colorful history. It was founded in 1863 as Mineral City, at
the site of William and Isaac Bradshaw's ferry landing. In the 1870s, when the Colorado River served as a main source of transportation to the interior of the Arizona territory, Ehrenberg became a major port. Gold crazed Californians crossed the Colorado River at Ehrenberg during the great La Paz rush.
 

The town was renamed Ehrenberg after Herman Ehrenberg, a surveyor and mining engineer, who was murdered in Dos Palmas, California, in 1866. By 1875 Ehrenberg was booming, with nearly 500 people living in the city. The unincorporated community has a Mohave Desert. Nearby mountains provide topographic relief. Natural attractions include the red rocks of Sedona and Oak Creek
Canyon, located to the north and Prescott National Forest to the west which is known to be a world class mecca for hand gliding
enthusiasts.
