Springerville
Located in Northeastern Arizona, the Town of Springerville is
at the heart of the growing southwest. Originally established in 1879, Springerville
sits at an elevation of 7,000 feet. Growing around Henry Springer’s trading post,
the town was incorporated in 1948. Along with it’s neighbor Eagar, both communities
reside in the Round Valley.
A
variety of industries shape Springerville’s economic profile. In the early days,
cattle and sheep ranching were principal economic activities, but these have gradually
been replaced by tourism, agriculture, construction, forestry, and retail sales
in support of the 2,000 local residents and an additional 9,000 residents that make
up the trade area.
Springerville is home to the majority of commercial hotels,
motels and dining facilities in this part of the White Mountains. Springerville
is also home to Casa Malpais, a nationally recognized archeological ruin, and is
the start of the Coronado Trail Scenic Byway, where you'll find the Madonna of the
Trail, a statue dedicated to the pioneer spirit of the settlers who established
the communities.
Combined with a mild climate and proximity to a wealth of outdoor recreation year
round, ranging from hunting and fishing to winter skiing, Springerville is a haven
for recreational enthusiasts in Arizona and New Mexico.
