Gila County Information
Formed from parts of Maricopa and Pinal counties on February 8, 1881,
with the boundary later being extended eastward into Yavapai
County to the San Carlos River, by public petition in 1889. The
original county seat was in the mining community of Globe City, now
Globe.
The county covers 4,796 square miles and is a source of great mineral
wealth. The Globe Mining District, originally located on the San Carlos
Indian Reservation, was reallocated to Gila County.
The Pleasant Valley War, also known as the Graham-Tewksbury feud,
which began in the 1870s and lasted 15 years. It claimed dozens of
lives and ignited tempers between cattle ranchers and sheep ranchers
for years to come. It matched the cattle-herding Grahams against
the sheep-herding Tewksburys, resulting in an almost complete
annihilation of the families involved.
Gila County contains parts of Fort Apache Indian Reservation and San Carlos Indian Reservation.
The U.S. Forest Service owns 56 percent of the land in Gila County.
Approximately 38 percent belongs to the Apache Tribe. Individuals and
corporations own 2 percent of the land; the U.S. Bureau of Land
Management, 2 percent; and the state of Arizona, 1 percent of the land;
and other public lands comprise the remaining 1 percent.
