Founded in 1880 and considered one of the richest areas for copper,gold and silver, not to mention the quantity of gems located in the hillsides. This literally is a town unchanged since it came into being in the gold and copper rush era. This is the seat of the county when it took the honour from Tombstone (after Tombstone run out of steam)

It is about 6 miles from Mexico and has a great museum about the history of the place. It was one of the first areas in the US to create unions of the mine workers and in 1917 due to fractious rows between the miners and the authorities over 2000 men were rounded up and interviewed to determine who was protesting, nearly 1200 were forcibly loaded into rail carts and deposited over the border into Mexico told never to return.

The whole place clings precariously to the hillside with steep roads and houses that look like there are the originals from the 1880s.

Mining stopped here in 1975 but they are considering starting again as there is more to access. The place also looks like it stalled in 1975. A hippy town with plenty of unusual characters roaming around.

Love it! We have even been able to see Mexico in the distance.
