Copper Hill

Copper Hill

Copper Hill is located 3 1/2 miles northwest of Globe. The town was established in 1908 and disbanded in 1933. During the early 1900's, Copper Hill served as a mining camp for the Arizona Commercial, Iron Cap, and Superior and Boston mines. By 1925, approximately 500 people lived in this community and Copper Hill also had a hospital and a school. By 1930, the population shrank to 40. Today, many foundations of smelters and mill sites, ruins of buildings, and abandoned mines can be found in the area around Copper Hill. The area is currently being developed into ranchettes.
