Beginning in 1881, the county boundaries were reduced by the creation of Cochise, Maricopa, Graham, Pinal, and Santa Cruz counties. SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE Records of the operations of Pima County offices, beginning in 1865 but mostly produced between 1880 and 1920. The bulk of the collection consists of companies’ required filings with the Pima County Recorder’s office for incorporations, partnerships, and appointments of company agents; marriage certificates; appointments to county offices; and ledgers containing Board of Supervisor’s meeting minutes. The records provide a detailed glimpse of the people and businesses in Pima County in the earliest years of its operation including railroads, water companies, churches, cattle companies, mining corporations, and other businesses. Business documents contain information such as owner’s names, and company name and location of business. Marriage certificates are present for Mexican American, Indian, and Anglo citizens from 1865 to 1889. The records reference many of Pima County’s pioneer families. Ledgers of Pima County Board of Supervisor’s meeting minutes provide a comprehensive summary of their activities from 1886 to 1946. Highlights include documents for Tombstone businesses, Chinese-owned businesses, and mining operations in rural Pima County. There are juror’s certificates for the Tewksbury trial (f.349), carbon copies of court orders in the Hunt vs. Campbell election contest (f.331), an incorporation for the Tucson Volunteer Fire Dept. (f.96), and an investigation of County Physician Dr. George Purcell’s expenditures which includes a list of St. Mary’s Hospital’s surgical patients (f.335).

    Coronado National Memorial Historical Research Project Research Topics Written by Joseph P. Sánchez, Ph.D. John Howard White, Ph.D. Edited by Angélica Sánchez-Clark, Ph.D. With the assistance of Hector Contreras, David Gómez and Feliza Monta University of New Mexico Graduate Students Spanish Colonial Research Center A Partnership between the University of New Mexico and the National Park Service [Version Date: May 20, 2014] 1 Coronado National Memorial Coronado Expedition Research Topics 1) Research the lasting effects of the expedition in regard to exchanges of cultures, Native American and Spanish. Was the shaping of the American Southwest a direct result of the Coronado Expedition's meetings with natives? The answer to this question is embedded throughout the other topics. However, by 1575, the Spanish Crown declared that the conquest was over and the new policy of pacification would be in force. Still, the next phase that would shape the American Southwest involved settlement, missionization, and expansion for valuable resources such as iron, tin, copper, tar, salt, lumber, etc. Francisco Vázquez de Coronado’s expedition did set the Native American wariness toward the Spanish occupation of areas close to them. Rebellions were the corrective to their displeasure over colonial injustices and institutions as well as the mission system that threatened their beliefs and spiritualism. In the end, a kind of syncretism and symbiosis resulted. Today, given that the Spanish colonial system recognized that the Pueblos and mission Indians had a legal status, land grants issued during that period protects their lands against the new settlement pattern that followed: that of the Anglo-American.

  • A Brave New World (PDF)
    Dear Reader: In Spring 2005, as part of Cochise College’s 40th anniversary celebration, we published the first installment of Cochise College: A Brave Beginning by retired faculty member Jack Ziegler. Our reason for doing so was to capture for a new generation the founding of Cochise College and to acknowledge the contributions of those who established the College’s foundation of teaching and learning. A second, major watershed event in the life of the College was the establishment of the Sierra Vista Campus. Dr. Ziegler has once again conducted interviews and researched archived news­ paper accounts to create a history of the Sierra Vista Campus. As with the first edition of A Brave Beginning, what follows is intended to be informative and entertaining, capturing not only the recorded events but also the memories of those who were part of expanding Cochise College. Dr. Karen Nicodemus As the community of Sierra Vista celebrates its 50th anniversary, the College takes great pleas­ ure in sharing the establishment of the Cochise College Sierra Vista Campus. Most importantly, as we celebrate the success of our 2006 graduates, we affirm our commitment to providing accessible and affordable higher education throughout Cochise County. For those currently at the College, we look forward to building on the work of those who pio­ neered the Douglas and Sierra Vista campuses through the College’s emerging districtwide master facilities plan. We remain committed to being your “community” college – a place where teaching and learning is the highest priority and where we are creating opportunities and changing lives. Karen A.

  • Promise Beheld and the Limits of Place
    Promise Beheld and the Limits of Place A Historic Resource Study of Carlsbad Caverns and Guadalupe Mountains National Parks and the Surrounding Areas By Hal K. Rothman Daniel Holder, Research Associate National Park Service, Southwest Regional Office Series Number Acknowledgments This book would not be possible without the full cooperation of the men and women working for the National Park Service, starting with the superintendents of the two parks, Frank Deckert at Carlsbad Caverns National Park and Larry Henderson at Guadalupe Mountains National Park. One of the true joys of writing about the park system is meeting the professionals who interpret, protect and preserve the nation’s treasures. Just as important are the librarians, archivists and researchers who assisted us at libraries in several states. There are too many to mention individuals, so all we can say is thank you to all those people who guided us through the catalogs, pulled books and documents for us, and filed them back away after we left. One individual who deserves special mention is Jed Howard of Carlsbad, who provided local insight into the area’s national parks. Through his position with the Southeastern New Mexico Historical Society, he supplied many of the photographs in this book. We sincerely appreciate all of his help. And finally, this book is the product of many sacrifices on the part of our families. This book is dedicated to LauraLee and Lucille, who gave us the time to write it, and Talia, Brent, and Megan, who provide the reasons for writing. Hal Rothman Dan Holder September 1998 i Executive Summary Located on the great Permian Uplift, the Guadalupe Mountains and Carlsbad Caverns national parks area is rich in prehistory and history.

  • HISTORY Rio Rancho Is One of New Mexico's Newest Communities
    HISTORY Rio Rancho is one of New Mexico’s newest communities, incorporated as a City in 1981 with 10,131 residents. Although incorporated as a new community in 1981, the occupation of the site upon which present day Rio Rancho sits can be traced back to the Ice Age. Prehistoric to Early Historic….. It is commonly held that the Rio Grande Valley was inhabited approximately 10,000 to 12,000 years ago. The remains of a hunting campsite, located within the current City limits of Rio Rancho, reveal that the first indigenous residents lived in the Rio Rancho vicinity approximately 11,000 years ago. These early inhabitants were hunters and gatherers whose tools of the trade were arrowhead-like artifacts called “Folsom Points” named after the location where similar artifacts were first located in New Mexico in 1927. Archaeologists have located numerous pit house settlements, evidence of early habitation along the banks of the Rio Grande. The sites, one of which is estimated to have been occupied for nearly four hundred years, have either been excavated for academic study or preserved in perpetuity for future generations as open space. Spanish Period 1540 to 1821….. The end of the prehistoric era is marked by the appearance of the first Spanish explorers into the area. Francisco Vásquez de Coronado led Spanish conquistadors to the Rio Rancho vicinity in the winter of 1540 in search of the fabled, “seven cities of gold,” while conquering native peoples along the way. An early twentieth century excavation of a large 1,000-room, Tiwa pueblo revealed that it was occupied by the Anasazi (a Navajo word meaning the “ancient ones”) into the 16th century.

The second paper, “Ruby: The Montana Mine Becomes the Largest Producer of Lead and Zinc in the State of Arizona,” covers the period from 1912 to the present. The third paper, “Ruby: From Its Heyday in the 1930’s to Ghost Town,” covers the author’s recollections of her life in Ruby in the 1930’s and a description of today’s ghost town. These papers on Ruby are one product of continuing research by the authors on the history of mining in Southern Arizona, primarily in Santa Cruz County’s Oro Blanco region. Several major sources of information on early mining records and activities should be mentioned. These include the State of Arizona, Department of Library, Archives and Public Records; Pima County Recorder’s Office; Santa Cruz County Recorder’s Office; Santa Cruz County Assessor’s Office; and microfilm records of the Arizona Daily Star and Arizona Daily Citizen at the Arizona Historical Society.
