THE HASSAYAMPA
There are some facts and many theories on where the word Hassayampa was derived. Once an oasis, with water flowing year-round, the western Yavapai made the banks their home, irrigating their crops of corn, beans, squash, and tobacco with river water. The Yavapai referred to the portion of the river nearest Wickenburg as Haviamp.
