Poston, AZ

Poston is a quiet, sun-soaked farming community in western Arizona’s Parker Valley, located on the Colorado River Indian Tribes reservation. With under 200 residents, it offers wide-open desert landscapes and an exceptionally peaceful, rural way of life. The area is deeply tied to American history as the site of a major World War II Japanese American internment camp, marked today by a memorial and preserved historic school buildings. Daily life here is slow-paced and centered around agriculture, with the nearby town of Parker providing everyday amenities, shopping, and easy access to boating along the Colorado River.
