Bisbee, Arizona - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (1001 words) |
 | Bisbee is a city located in Cochise County, Arizona, USA, 82 miles (132 km) southeast of Tucson. |
| Bisbee was founded as a copper, gold, and silver mining town in 1880, and named in honor of Judge DeWitt Bisbee, one of the financial backers of the adjacent Copper Queen Mine. |
| By 1950, boom times were over and the population of the City of Bisbee had dropped to less than 6,000, but the introduction of strip mining and continued underground work would see the town escape the fate of many of its early contemporaries. |
