Betty has retired to a lovely residence in Wickenburg, Az. She still keeps us on our toes when it comes to running a real estate firm. She’s the Queen around here and we know it!! If you want La Paz County history, give her a ring…she knows it….
History of Parker
Founded in 1908, the town was named after Ely Parker, the first Native American commissioner for the U.S. government. The original town site of Parker was surveyed and laid out in 1909 by a railroad location engineer by the name of Earl. H. Parker for the Arizona & California Railway. However, the town’s name and origin began when a post office was established January 6, 1871, on the Colorado River Indian reservation to serve the Indian agency.[3]
