Fairbanks is a “ghost town” along the San Pedro River. The life of the town began with the construction of a railroad in 1881, and it soon became an important depot as well as the closest railroad to Tombstone. In 1882 it was one of the largest western cities with a population of 15,000. In 1888 there were four stores, five saloons and three restaurants. Lots sold for $50 to $150. Many residents of Fairbanks worked at the near by Grand Central Mill.
Please take the time to visit this old town site. While you are there hike up to the cemetery and pay your respects.
