YUMA ARIZONA "YUMA HELL" Saguaro Cactus Boeres Phoenix WB 1915-30 ILLUSTRATION

Description: Yuma is a city in and the county seat of Yuma County, Arizona. The city’s population was 93,064 at the 2010 census. The area’s first settlers for thousands of years were Native American cultures and historic tribes. In 1540, Spanish expeditions visited the area and immediately recognized the natural crossing of the Colorado River as an ideal spot for a city. The spot was called the “Yuma Crossing” and was used by the Spanish, during the Gold Rush to the late 1870s and became known for its ferry crossings for the “Southern Emigrant Trail”. Following the United States establishing Fort Yuma, two towns developed one mile downriver. The one on the California side was called Jaeger City, the other was called Colorado City. From 1853, a smaller settlement, Arizona City, grew up on the high ground across from the fort and was organized under the name of its post office in 1858. It took the name Yuma in 1873. The city is noted for its weather extremes. Of any populated place in the contiguous United States, Yuma is the direst, the sunniest and the least humid, has the lowest frequency of precipitation, and has the highest number of days per year, 175, with a daily maximum temperature of 90 F or higher. It features a “hot desert climate”, with extremely hot summers and warm winters. There are 117 days per year during where the temperature reaches or exceeds 100 degrees and the record has reached a record 124. This card, published by “A.C. Boeres Company, Phoenix”, makes an editorial comment on Yuma’s weather, YUMA HELL”.
