About Superior, Arizona

Superior, the oldest town in Pinal County, is home to 2,407 people about 70 miles east of Phoenix. On March 22, 1875, Charles G. Mason and four other men discovered native silver here and staked the Silver King claim, and on March 29 the Silver Queen vein was staked as well. A camp called Queen grew up around the mines, and by about 1880 its roughly 100 people had two hotels, saloons, a general store and a post office. The silver gave out, so the Silver Queen shut in 1893 and the Silver King in 1896.

The camp was renamed Hastings and platted in 1900. In 1902 the Superior townsite was laid out, taking its name from the Lake Superior and Arizona Copper Company, and its post office opened on December 29, 1902. In 1910 the Silver Queen was purchased by William Boyce Thompson and George Gunn, who formed the Magma Copper Company and turned the old silver mine toward copper. A concentrator followed in 1914 and a smelter in 1924. The Magma mine closed in August 1982, reopened in September 1990 and shut again on June 28, 1996, after yielding about 1,300,000 short tons of copper.

  • Concrete on a wooden streetCanadian John McPherson left Globe for Superior in 1902. In 1912 he bought four lots and began the Magma Hotel in reinforced concrete, copying Ray's rebuilding after a fire, and it became the first concrete building in a town of wooden ones. It got Superior's first Delco Light system in 1917. Closed in 1992, it joined the National Register in 1994, was bought in 2010 by Miguel A. Sfeir's company, and reopened in 2019 with 21 rooms.
  • Steam until 1968The Magma Copper Company built the Magma Arizona Railroad, first headquartered in Superior, to haul copper and cattle out to the Southern Pacific. Trains ran from 1915 to 1997, the line was widened to standard gauge in 1923, and it kept its steam engines longer than any other industrial short line in the country, finally changing to diesel on September 4, 1968.
  • Thompson's desert gardenIn the early 1920s William Boyce Thompson built a winter home above Queen Creek. In 1924 he founded the Boyce Thompson Arboretum beside the creek, under Picketpost Mountain 3 miles west of town. It became Arizona's largest and oldest botanical garden, growing more than 2,600 kinds of plants from arid lands, and it became a state park in 1976.
  • The legend of Apache LeapIn 1872, during the American Indian Wars, U.S. cavalry soldiers riding out from Picket Post Mountain ambushed a band of Apache horsemen. After losing 50 men, the Apache fell back up the mountain above town. Local legend says the survivors jumped to their deaths rather than be captured, and the mountain has been called Apache Leap ever since.
