Golden Valley, Census-designated place in Mohave County, Arizona.
Golden Valley is a sparsely populated area in Mohave County situated between the towns of Kingman and Bullhead City. The landscape consists of open desert terrain with scattered homes spread across the flat land, typical of communities in this part of Arizona.
The area received its name from the Golden Valley Development Company, which opened the land for settlement during the early 1900s. Development remained modest over the decades and the region has stayed rural.
The population of 8,801 residents maintains community cohesion through local gatherings and events at the Black Mountain Elementary School.
The area is best reached by car since distances between communities are substantial and public transportation is limited. Visitors should stock up on supplies and fuel before venturing into the less populated parts.
The elevation of 855 meters creates a distinct desert environment with temperatures ranging from mild winters to intense summer heat.
