Founded in the late 1800s on Cleopatra Hill above one of the richest copper deposits in the world, Jerome, Arizona quickly became one of the most talked-about boomtowns in the Arizona Territory. Miners, smelter workers, merchants, and families from around the world helped shape its colorful history. Copper built the town, but after the mines closed in 1953, Jerome nearly became a ghost town. In the 1960s and ’70s, artists and free spirits breathed new life into the hillside community, restoring old buildings and opening shops and galleries. Today, Jerome AZ is a National Historic Landmark filled with history, art, boutique shops, wine tasting rooms, and unforgettable views making it one of the top day trip destinations in Northern Arizona.
