Lake Havasu City was a young city, being established in September 1963 after Robert McCulloch bought 3,000+ acres and another 13,000 federally owned acres to begin a retirement city. He bought the London Bridge in 1968 from the City of London for $2.46 million and had it reassembled for another $7 million. It was sinking into the Thames under modern traffic. He felt that the London Bridge would bring tourists to his city and it certainly did! It is Arizona\u2019s second biggest tourist attraction, second only to the Grand Canyon.<br style=\"color: rgb(42, 42, 42); font-family: &quot;Gentium Basic&quot;; font-size: 19px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;\"><br style=\"color: rgb(42, 42, 42); font-family: &quot;Gentium Basic&quot;; font-size: 19px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;\">The bridge was built in 1838 and moved to Lake Havasu City in 1971.
