Bisbee quickly grew as an urban center driven by a booming mining industry that thrived on the area’s rich reserves of copper, silver, gold, zinc, lead, and manganese. With a population of more than 20,000 in 1910, Bisbee was one of the most cultured cities in the West.
It remains home to the historic Warren Ballpark, arguably the nation’s first ballfield, and to Turquoise Park in Naco, which was the State’s first golf course.
Today, with residents numbering around 5,000, Bisbee’s welcoming spirit offers visitors a rich mix of art, music, architecture, outdoor activities, shopping, dining, unique hospitality, and nightlife.
