Globe, the county seat, was founded in 1875 as a mining camp. Mining, tourism, government and retirees are most important in the present-day Globe economy. Globe’s Downtown Historic District was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.
Miami is adjacent to Globe, and near the San Carlos Apache Indian Reservation. It’s a classic Western copper boom-town. Miami’s old downtown has been partly renovated, and the Bullion Plaza Museum features the cultural, mining and ranching history of the Miami area.
Payson is a town in northern Gila County. Due to Payson’s location being very near to the geographic center of Arizona, has been called “The Heart of Arizona”. On March 3, 1884, a post office was established with the help of Illinois Representative Levi Joseph Payson. In honor of the representative’s help, the town’s name was changed from Green Valley to “Payson”.
