So what makes Yuma such a special place? For starters, there's our incredible climate. With over 310 days of sunshine per year and average temperatures hovering around 75 degrees Fahrenheit (24 degrees Celsius), it's no wonder that so many visitors come here for outdoor activities like hiking, biking, golfing, fishing and more.
But it's not just about the weather - Yuma is also steeped in history and culture. As one of the oldest continuously inhabited regions in North America dating back over 4 millennia ago when Native American tribes first settled here along the Colorado River banks; this area has been home to various cultures including Spanish explorers who arrived in 1540s followed by Mexican settlers who established their own communities during early 1800s before becoming part of United States after Gadsden Purchase treaty was signed between US & Mexico in 1853.
Today visitors can explore historic sites like Fort Yuma (which played a key role during both World War II and the Civil War), as well as museums dedicated to local history such as The Sanguinetti House Museum & Gardens which showcases life during early pioneer days; or The Quartermaster Depot State Historic Park which tells stories about how supplies were transported across desert terrain from California ports into Arizona Territory via Colorado River steamboats during late-1800s.
And if you're looking for something truly unique - why not try some authentic southwestern cuisine? From traditional Mexican dishes like tacos al pastor or carne asada burritos at local taquerias; To fusion cuisine featuring locally grown produce at upscale restaurants like Lutes Casino Restaurant where they serve up delicious burgers made with locally sourced beef from nearby farms!
