With a population of 2,376*, Fort Yuma-Quechan
Reservation is located in Imperial County, California
and Yuma County Arizona, along both sides of the Colorado
River. Encompassing 50,667 acres, the reservation is
bisected on the south by Interstate 8 (I-8).
In addition to farming and a sand and
gravel operation, the Fort Yuma Quechan Reservation
counts on tourism and related business to augment its
economy. The hot summers and relatively warm winter
temperatures make the site a desirable winter vacation
spot from November to March. To serve this audience
the Tribe manages five trailer and RV parks, a small
grocery store, museum, gaming facility, utility company
and a fish and game department.
