Named after Thomas Henry Blythe, a San Francisco businessman, the city was incorporated on July 21, 1916. Blythe established primary water rights to the Colorado River in the region in 1877, a pivotal event in the city's development. The early years of Blythe saw significant development efforts by William Calloway and Thomas Blythe, focusing on irrigation and agriculture. The city's growth was further spurred by the arrival of the California Southern Railroad in 1916, which connected it to more extensive economic networks.
