The Crown King Genral Store was built in 1904 by Ely S. Perkins. The Store used tokens, instead of money, to ensure that the miners would spent them at the Store. Bob Patterson was the owner of the Store from 1924-1938.
The site of a former gold mining town, Crown King is 28 miles west of Interstate 17 on Senator Highway, high in the Bradshaw Mountains. The community is named after the Crowned King mine, but the name was shortened to Crown King in 1888. Today, Crown King is an unincorporated community in Yavapai County, Arizona, located at an elevation of 5,771 feet (1,759 m.).
