About Safford, Arizona
Safford is a city of 10,129 people and the seat of Graham County, with the Pinaleño Mountains rising to its southwest. Its founders were Joshua Eaton Bailey, Hiram Kennedy and Edward Tuttle. They had been digging canals and building dams at Gila Bend until a summer of high water wiped out the work. They set out eastward over the winter of 1873 to 1874, and in the first months of 1874 they laid out the town and raised a handful of crude structures.
The settlers named their town for Anson P. K. Safford, Arizona Territory's third governor, who cared about the valley and was later called the "Father of the Arizona Public Schools." Bailey earned a title of his own as the "Father of Safford." The Latter-day Saint families who followed brought the craft of making brick. James R. Welker, a farmer, helped widen the Montezuma Canal and dig the Sunflower Canal, and he later served as water master. Safford incorporated as a town on October 10, 1901, and became a city in 1955.
- Winning back the county seatSafford was Graham County's seat until part of its adobe courthouse fell in 1883 and Solomonville got it. The railroad arrived in 1895, the town grew, and voters reclaimed it on June 28, 1915. The fifth courthouse, a $44,404 Classic Revival design by Royal W. Lescher and John Rinker Kibbey, rose at 800 West Main Street in 1916. Arizona Supreme Court justices J. A. McAllister and Jesse A. Udall started there. It joined the National Register in 1982.
- Big Seated MountainA few miles southwest of town stands the peak the Western Apache call Dził Nchaa Sí’an, "Big Seated Mountain," one of their four holiest. Lieutenant William Emory of the U.S. Army named it Mount Graham in the 1840s. At 10,720 feet it's the county's highest point. The University of Arizona runs the Mount Graham International Observatory on the mountain over Western Apache objections, and Safford keeps its street lights dim to help the telescopes.
- Volunteers since 1907A fire chief and 12 local men organized the Safford Volunteer Fire Department on May 20, 1907. It is still a volunteer company, now a chief and 31 firefighters, answering more than 200 calls a year across the city and 110 square miles beyond it.
- City Hall in an 1898 schoolSafford's City Hall is the old North Ward School, built in 1898. Nearby, the library moved in 1991 into a former furniture store shaped like an arrowhead, and the building appears for a moment in Lost in America, a film by Albert Brooks.
- A church president's businessSpencer W. Kimball grew up in neighboring Thatcher, then ran an insurance and bond business in Safford and raised his family here. From 1973 to 1985 he served as president of the Latter-day Saint church.
