The first known European to visit the area was Spanish explorer Melchor Díaz. He documented his travels in what is now northwestern Mohave County in 1540. He recounts meeting a large population of natives who referred to themselves as the Pipa Aha Macav, meaning “People by the River”. From “Aha Macav” came the Spanish name “Mojave”, which was higher passed into English, where it is next spelled “Mohave”. When most people take up to Fort Mohave, they use the spelling “Mohave”, while the tribe retains the received Spanish spelling “Mojave”.
