History

The settlers initiated a series of planned raids against the Yavapai. According to 2006 Census Bureau estimates, the population of the town is 6,423.

An 1862 gold strike on the Colorado River near the present-day Yuma, Arizona inspired hardy prospectors and miners, predominantly from California and Mexico, to search for minerals throughout central Arizona. The abundant clean air and wide-open spaces attracted new residents. His quest for gold was rewarded by the discovery of the Vulture Mine, where over $30 million in gold has been dug from the ground.[http://www.jpc-training.com/vulture.htm] Throughout the foothills surrounding Wickenburg are relics of other mines that stand as a tribute to the pioneer miner and prospector. After the War, modern pioneers and home builders developed Wickenburg into a typical American community.
