Globe, Mining city and county seat in Eastern Arizona, United States
Located between the Pinal and Apache mountains at an elevation of 1070 meters, Globe follows the natural curves of Pinal Creek valley.
The settlement emerged in 1875 when silver deposits were found, earning its name from a spherical silver formation discovered by early prospectors.
The Besh-ba-gowah Archaeological Park displays Hohokam-Salado structures and contains artifacts that showcase the region's Native American heritage.
The city connects to neighboring regions through U.S. Routes 60 and 70, with the Arizona Eastern Railway providing additional transportation options.
The Old Dominion copper mine, established in 1880, operated for over five decades and transformed Globe from a silver outpost into a copper production center.
