Charleston 3218
Charleston was located on the San Pedro river about 6 miles south of Fairbanks. The Tombstone
Epitaph on May 6, 1882 noted "Charleston has a very extensive trade with the surrounding
country and Sonora. Its Mexican business is daily becoming more important, and it will continue
to increase until it reaches very large proportions. The town is well regulated and free from
turmoil. In fact, it is one of the most peaceful places we were ever in."
