Bradshaw City
Bradshaw City was first mentioned in the Arizona Miner on September 21, 1864. William D. and Isaac Bradshaw came to Arizona from California c. 1863 and owned and operated the ferry at Olive City. William led a party into the mountain range which was later given his name, made a strike, and the new mining district was named in his honor. The city was born and was situated on the trail from Prescott to the Tiger and Eclipse Mines and in the May 20, 1871, the Arizona Citizen described the settlement as having two stores, a restaurant, two saloons, an assay office and a butcher shop with other buildings being erected. A post office was established July 1, 1874.
The Townsite was surveyed by O. H. Case, and in 1871 the population was listed as 5,000. By the end of 1871, however, miners began to move away from Tiger Mine to find work elsewhere and by the 1880’s the town faded from the map.
Headboards and headstones stand in the cemetery. Corner posts stand around family plots and the site is shaded by pine and oak trees.
