Faribank, Arizona

Fairbank is a ghost town that was once a mining processing town that supported the mining occurring in Tombstone and Bisbee.  The town site is now on BLM land and is part of the protected San Pedro Riparian National Conservation Area.  The entire town was sold in the early 1900s.  There was a lot of confusion, because people in the town believed they owned their property.  They were angry when they left so they destroyed their homes, or took their houses apart and moved them to a new location.   There is a cemetery north of the town, but since many of the markers were made of wood, there are few traditional grave markers remaining.
