Globe and Miami, important copper mining centers for more than a century, are colorful communities four miles apart in east-central Arizona. Both are located in a steep canyon at 3,500 feet in the Pinal Mountains of southern Gila (pronounced Heela) County. Highway 60 connects the communities.
Globe’s ample water resources and ideal location for distribution of mining products led to its founding as a mining town in 1876. The city was incorporated twice prior to its present incorporation in 1907. Globe is the county seat. Miami was founded in 1912 by Black Jack Newman as a camp near his copper mine. The town incorporated in 1918.
