Districts include: Upper Verde; Middle Verde; Lower Verde; Oak Creek; Beaver Creek; and Cherry Creek. The history of the United Verde Copper Company property and its growth dates back to 1876 which is when the first claims were made. The United Verde mine was situated in Yavapai County overlooking the Verde Valley. M.A. Ruffner, a pioneer in the area, was interested in prospecting the surrounding hill. He located two claims--the Eureka and Wade Hampton, in 1876. He obtained two partners, George and Angus McKinnon. The property was sold when the Mckinnons thought that another copper ore shaft would go to barren ground with insufficient copper. The governer of the territory of Arizona, F.A. Tritle, enlisted financial aid from James A. McDonald and Eugene Jerome of New York City. In 1882 the United Verde Copper Company was organized with McDonald as president. When the costs of mining rose and the ores became leaner the plant was closed in 1882. Governor Tritle secured a lease in 1887 and resumed operations but it became a losing venture. Senator William A. Clark secured the operation of the property in 1888 and made it profitable.
