Harshaw 3 Car 3518
Harshaw The town was settled in the 1870s, in what was then Arizona Territory. Founded as a
mining community, Harshaw is named after the cattleman-turned-prospector David Tecumseh
Harshaw, who first successfully located silver in the area. It is a ghost town nearby to Cochise
County in Santa Cruz County. At the town’s peak near the end of the 19th century, Harshaw’s mines
were among Arizona’s highest producers of ore.
